Re: Me 109 E-4, 15 Aug 1940, 3/ErpGr210

Andy,

To paraphrase Dowding - 'Gosh!'. An intriguing snippet of information.

Given the impeccable source I won't discount the possibility but have some concerns. Werk Nummer 3537 was manufactured as an E-1 sub-type by Arado at Warnemunde &, as we know, MARX was reported lost flying an E-4/B. Also, a piece of wreckage recovered at the crash site is clearly stamped '1996' which was an E-4 manufactured by Erla in Leipzig.

This could set some hares running.
