Re: eBay: one Bf 109 E. Stab III./JG 54
Franck,
This is scheduled as one of our Color Profile a/c for the EoE project. This is the a/c of Hptm Arnold Lignitz, Gr Kdr of III./JG54, displaying 19 victory tabs in two rows on the rudder. We have several excellent photos of the scoreboard of this a/c taken during early Nov., 1940, shortly after Lignitz won the RK and took over III./JG54. He was originally with 9./JG51.
We think that this is the fatal crash near Waterloo, Belgium, by Uffz. Karl Albrecht of 9./JG 54, on 14.02.41, with aircraft WNr924 a 100% loss. Albrecht was obviously flying the Gr Kdr's a/c when he crashed.
Regards,
Larry Hickey
EoE Project Coordinator
