Bf 109 G-6 167295 tail piece
Hello,

I recently received an original fabric part of the tail rudder and wing of Bf 109 G-6 WkNr 167295 (see photo).

Does anybody know anything about this 109's history? The part of the wing (according to a handwritten note) shows a red "V". It might have been the first letter of the word "Vorsicht". It is also made out of fabric so it must have been part of the aileron. But I couldn't find any photo that shows such a large "V" on the aileron of a Bf 109.

Is there any 109 expert who can tell more about the "V"?

Thanks,

Roger
