Re: Phoos 3-25

Dear Don,
dear Rémi,

this time it really looks as if the photo shows Hans-Joachim Marseille. Yet I dare say the aircraft is still a Bf 109 F, most likely an F-4 trop. The photo was probably taken while Marseille was on his way back to North Africa after his last vacation in the summer of 1942 and shows him with a "Freidrich" that he transferred from Italy to North Africa, the a/c still wearing its Stammkennzeichen. But that of course is only a guess.

Regards

Jochen Prien
