Re: Bf.109G-8 vs Caproni 313(S-16) Swedich

Indeed Juha

Holland probably felt themselves extremely threatened after the outbreak of WW 2 and probably did not want to give the Germans a single chance to claim they thought the Dutch were Allied aircraft due to the circular form of the old marking.

Sweden probably felt safer in 1939, after all we would have been very much a 'side show'. All that changed pretty fast of course in April 1940, but that was another story...

Cheers
Stig
