Re: Bf109A,B,C,D in Legion Condor

Sorry Michael, we could ..... but while many of the profiles on that site are accurate, many are not. It could well be that someone took a bit of artistic licence and said, well, he had 14+1, so I'll put that on the tail.
From memory there have been instances of that mentioned on this forum.
Without a photo you just never know for sure.
For 6o79 I have a photo with 4, a photo with 12, a model kit with 3 and a decal set from a company which is unfortunately known to take a bit of licence with 15.
So 12 is the highest confirmed score I have.
I also have a profile from Osprey's Aces of the Legion Condor book by Robert Forsythe which claims to be based on a photo taken in late 1938 showing 15 bars arranged as in the abovementioned decal set.
