Re: Late war Bf 109 pictures source

Salut Franck,

Thanks for those crisp and clear shots of the helmet emblem. The pic is too fuzzy to be sure of the emblem sported by this K-4, but it sure looks similar. Great to see altogether that emblems were still painted this late in the war... Not an uncommon practice, as we can see other emblems either for JG 53 as shown also by this machine:

or the well known Neuruppin set of pictures showing JG 77 K-4's sporting their unit emblem...

Cheers
Marc
