Re: Researching Bf109E WNr 1295
I did some more digging for similar Werk Numbers and found the following:
Messerschmitt Bf 109E-4 - Black 7, Wn. 1294 was flown by Oberfeldwebel Wilhelm Bauer of 8/JG 3, and was shot down on October 15th, crash landing on Princes' Golf Course, Sandwich, Kent, at 09.17 hrs. Bauer was made a PoW. Assuming that aircraft with sequential numbers were issued to the same units, it is likely that 1295 was also assigned to JG 3 and flew during the Battle of Britain.
