Re: Late-war JG 52 Bf 109 Markings

By that time, the factories were not applying the yellow undercowl color, officially removed by memo in the summer of 1944, although many a/c retained them. The same is true for the "Eastern Front" yellow band. This was removed by memo from Luft 6 machines in March '45.

Don is correct regarding any profile of a late-war Hartmann a/c. They are all suspect as no complete photo evidence has thus far emerged of any machine after his January 1945 G-14 whilst attached to JG 53.
