Re: eBay: one "Schwarze(?) 10", Bf 109 E.

I made a post about that one over at the LEMB, the photo got to be from the winter of 1940/1941 give or take a month. During that time there weren't that many aces with such a high tally. Further, very few units used black numerals without outline. The only ones I can think of are 8./JG54 and possibly 8./JG51. Both units lacked III gruppe markings. There's something on the engine cowling that could be the faint outlines of the 8./JG54 bird emblem, but if it is, it is located further aft than normally seen.

Cheers! / Anders
