Re: Shot Down Me 109?
"Black 3" is probably Me 109 G-6 W.Nr. 18512, Black 3 + red spot and “wave.” This was found at Foggia Main and was described as "scrap
", its Stammkennzeichen was SI+UY.
Note that this one has a white outline to its tactical number whereas Black 10, WNr. 18733, didn't. (Incidentally, Black 10 was posted missing near Capua on 06.09.43, along with its pilot Ltn. Hans-Joachim
Schroth. The pilot evidently survived this time but was killed on 10 February 1944 at Vromshoop in the Netherlands, during an action against the 8th AF. His body was found on the 13th).
