Re: History of one Bf 109 E-4
JoMe,
I'm sorry but I don't think the 2./JG 77 incident on 10.5.40, involving Uffz. Friedrich Möller cited on P. 275 of Dr. Prien's JG 77 History, Part I, had anything to do with "Black 12," W.Nr. 703, of 2.(J)/LG 2. The two units are not the same and I don't see the connection. W.Nr. 703 more likely crash-landed down somewhere in Holland on that date or sometime close to that date. According to a roster of I.(J)/LG 2 pilots and aircraft dated 20.3.40, this aircraft was assigned to Lt. Helmut Mertens of 2.(J)/LG 2, which is consistent with the markings of a 2 Staffel a/c. During the fall of 1940, after repair, it was flown by the Hptm. Josef Fözö, Gr. Kdr. of II./JG 51. Photos confirm this. I still consider the information as to date, place and pilot of this a/c unknown.
Regards
