Seeking confirmation for Bf109D-1 a/c number of Lt. Gerhard Granz while with 1./ZG2 - 1./JGr102, circa late-summer-fall of 1939

Hello,

With the profile part of the EoE Project, we've now completed 113 Bf109D, E and F, 5-views out of around a thousand that are planned. The a/c that I want to use to represent 1./ZG2 - 1./JGr102 during the latter part of 1939 is the D-1 flown by Lt. Gerhard Granz. We have an excellent photo of the front of the a/c showing his Staffel and Gruppe insignias, but it doesn't show the a/c number. However, "Luftwaffe Colours: Jagdwaffe," P.198, in a caption to this photo claims that this is "White 11." Are there any other independent sources for this information, ie photos? I've got three photos of "White 11" that I can use for profile references, but they have no obvious connection with Granz.

Can anybody help? Has anyone been in touch with Granz directly?
