Hello John,

And thank you very much; this clarifies the situation.

Nevertheless, it raises some questions.
- Do you confirm that the plane on the firing butts is Hintze’s one; that is WNr.2668 as written in Falcon’s site? (Normally yes since we can see the bullet’s hole)
- What is the “mysterious” (As described by Erik in Jagdwaffe) clear rectangle on cowling: an emblem, a patch or a girl friend’s name?
- Both Mombeeck and Prien didn’t have access to this information when they wrote their respective volume?
- Since we can see the bullet’s hole on all pictures I can suppose they have been taken AFTER the 1/09. But is Prien right when he does include this photo inside JGr. 101 history? In other words do you know the place and the date the pictures have been taken?
- last - Hmm I think so - how can we have two planes - Hintze and Bacsila machines - bearing a chevron during the same period?

Again, thank you for your comments.

Best regards, Franck.

PS: As for the Stuka story, it was obvious there was something wrong even without knowing the details; Thanks to have clarified that too.
PPS: Note that WNr.2668 is included in one of those Bf 109 D-1 production batches!!! That is … another question mark.
