Re: eBay: a Stab JG27 Bf109.. with Stab emblem??
Hello Andreas,
I have no problem with what you are saying. This is the place where I primarily come to learn and exchange my thoughts.
However, apart from the aforementioned W.Nr. duplication, I would take this opportunity to dispute, or at least to mark as dubious or in need of further research at very least, the Bf 109F-4 WNr. 8419 Stab/JG 52 loss of 8 January 1942.
The series of photographs as presented here and on the LEMB hardly indicate that the aircraft was lost in the middle of one of the worst winters on the record. It is much more likely that the aforementioned 100% loss of W.Nr. 8419 (that is, providing that the W.Nr. was entered correctly in the original document in the first place) of 8 January 1942 was the second, and final loss of its aircraft, while what we witnessed on the photos was its first (and apparently recoverable) loss of autumn 1941.
Regards,
Sinisa
