Re: Horst Petzschler

Hi guys

Thank you both very much for your replies to my questions. I will say that it is my understanding that all Bf 109 G-10 fighters were powered by the DB 605 D engine and were fitted with MW 50 as standard. However, I have learned that with the Luftwaffe nothing is black and white, especially concerning the Bf 109! Concerning Petzschler's last flight, I have always read that he was a member of 10./JG 51 at the time. However, 10./JG 51 appears to have flown black coded fighters, thus, this appears to have been a 11./JG 51 fighter borrowed for the occasion.

Horrido!

Leo
