Re: Identify a He 111

Hi, Pierre...

Nice photo... Given that the starboard wing of this aircraft has been damaged and twisted to such an extent that we can see the undersurface, perhaps it's from KG26... ? The reason I say this is because KG26 were well known for showing the aircraft code in full under the wings, and we can see a rather large '1' on this photo, perhaps part of '1H', KG26's code. It's also an He111H sub-type, very likely an H-1 given that the intake on the side of the engine cowling is actually so far back that it is almost set into the wing leading edge. The small, almost pointed propellor spinners and the narrow propellor blades also point to an early H variant. Hope this is of help to you.

Regards
