Re: Photos 3-19

Don't know what to make of this:
http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...m=150226774748

Looks very interesting, but the emblem appears to have been drawn (with colour) on the photo and the area around the emblem also seems to be suspicious? Could be artistic lisence from the phorogrpaher/owner, but I would be rather cautious before purchasing this one.

The camouflage and setting corresponds with a 10. or 11./JG 5 Bf 109G-6 or G-14 in winter 1944-45, however. Note the apllication of white distemper of top of the RLM greys. location is probably Gossen airfield.

Thanks for these postings, Ed. You're gonna be mentioned for this in my and Andreas Brekken's new book, by the way, as you have found many photos valuable to us!

Regards,

Kjetil Åkra
