Re: eBay: one Bf 109E-3 with amazing camouflage

Hello,

Jochen Prien and I have discussed this one. It is unique as far as we know, and we've seen a lot of I./JG1 photos from that period. He notes that this is at Krefeld, according to the writing on the back, which makes this early 1940, vs the fall of 1939, as I'd originally thought. The light areas appear to me to be either 02 or 65 patches on the standard 1939-style two-tone green camouflage.

There are still a few surprises out there.

Regards,
