Re: Bär's Me 262 at Innsbruck-Hotting?
Hi Nick,
I am looking forward to reading your article in Axis Wings. I concur that III./EJG 2 was assimilated without authorization by JV 44 and that Bär considered himself as directly subordinate to Galland. If 111857 had been an aircraft of III./EJG 2 and the white engine cowls suggest this, the "narrow yellow band aft of the cockpit" had to have been overpainted before the "1" of the "13" was painted on the starboard side.
best regards,
Jim
