Re: Me109G6 Wnr 19634 "White 8"

Dear Michel,

Here is what I have for this airframe:

Bf 109 G-6 W.Nr. 19634 is a Wiener Neustadt Flugwerke (WNF) built machine.

There is contradictory information regarding its demise as I have it destroyed 100% during a Luftkampf, 28 July 1943, whilst being flown by Uffz. Helmut Apenburg as ""Weisse 8", 1./JG 3, no known location. Source is:
1. Gen.Qu.6.Abt. (mfm #11)-Vol.19;
2. Prien, et al, Die Jagdfliegerverbände, Vol X.2, p.250;
3. Prien/Stemmer, Stab und I./JG 3, p.528.

Oddly enough, i have this very same W.Nr. 19634 again active by 7 October 1943, as "Blaue 2", 12./JG 26 and damaged 35% due to a crash landing at Fl. Pl. Moorsele. Source is Gen.Qu.6.Abt. (mfm #11)-Vol.22.

Maybe the second occurrence is a typo in the W.Nr. ? All available informations are courtesy of George Morrison.

Cheers
Marc
