Re: Hahn BF 109 colours
Hi all;
A few comments about Assi Hahn's Bf 109 Fs!
The cowlings were yellow. The early F-2s had the complete engine cowling yellow. Sometime in late July 1941, the yellow was reduced to the under cowling. One of Assi's crew men made him a superb desk model of one of his F-4s and painted it using original RLM colors. The under cowling was yellow but the spinner was red. The story we were told the desk model was painted this way to identify the Gruppenkommandeur's machine. So far no photos of this F-4 are known.
The two photos just posted shows Assi by the tail of his F-4 and the other photo is of Assi's Major beim Stab Oblt. Josef Puchinger.
Cheers,
Jerry
