Re: Marseille's Bf109 wreck outside Crete ??

Well, anything to do with Marseille is of interest, of course. I would love to see photos. Is this an E or an F?

Of course, as far as we can tell, the E's he used in the Med. and all 4 of the Fs he used in combat, and his G were all lost in North Africa. This is verified by loss records.

Since he never flew in the Kreta operations in 1941 and it is doubtful he would have taken any path back to Afrika after leave except through Sicily and Tunis, it is doubtful if the aircraft is related to Marseille in any way.
