Re: Does anyone have info/pictures of Oberfeldwebel, Alfred Surau JG3 and his bf109G-6, September 1943?
Freddie,
Beyond Franck's pointer, Jochen Prien and Gerhard Stemmer did publish in 1995 five other pics of 9./JG 3 planes sporting the"Holzauge" - literally wooden eye - decoration on the engine cowling bulge of their Bf 109 G-6's:
Prien, (J.) and Stemmer (G.) 1995: Messerschmitt Bf 109 im Einsatz bei der III./Jagdgeschwader 3, Struve-Druck, p. 322-323 and 345.
Besides the planes, there is also one close-up of Obfw. Alfred Surau on p. 321.
As for Franck's picture, it is part of a series of three pics depicting Bf 109 G-6 "Gelbe 7", the plane piloted by Lt. Ekkehard Tichy, all published in Prien and Stemmer 1995, p. 322-323.
Cheers
Marc
