Re: Me109 picture 1940
One of a series of pics. - This one says 9./JG 26 pilot has managed to bring his Bf 109 E-1 “Yellow 6” (W.Nr. 2891) back to France despite being hit in combat at the end of August 1940. Note that beneath the fuselage is a fairing designed to protect a camera, which indicates that this aircraft was first produced as an E-5 reconnaissance craft and subsequently adapted into a fighter. Hit by a Spitfire south of London on September 30th of the same year, it was destroyed during an emergency landing at Caffiers.
I have another caption somewhere else ie.with reference to who the pilot maybe also....
