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

Hello!

There is photo of the Bf 109 shooting down the Swedish Capronis. It is now viewable in digitized material from Remi Milk collection at
Eesti sõjamuuseum - kindral Laidoneri muuseum (Estonian War Museum ( https://www.muis.ee/catalogue;jsessi...C11663F194A5E5 )

Below should be hotlinked spotview of the album photo (the picture down, right). I don't know the photo author, it is not necessarily Milk's own and he has got it from someone else. There was Lw flight school at Libau IIRC where also Estonians were trained as pilots.

The caption
"Liibavis, kevadel 1944
ME-109 peale Rootsi luurelennuki "Caproni" allatulistamist
" means:

In Libau, Spring 1944
Me-109 after shooting down Swedish reconnaissance aircraft Caproni




The album page can be downloaded in larger format here:

The link downloads directly to one's computer not opening any new page.
It is a pity that the tactical number or other markings are not visible.


Cheers,
Kari
