Bf109F-2 W.Nr.6661 of Heinz Klöpper 11./JG 51 - Red or Black 12?
Hello,
The profile of this aircraft in new Claes Sundin book shows a red number with a darker red outline. Most of the books with pictures of 11./JG 51 Bf 109 Fs simply describe the numbers as black.
A photo of Klöpper's mount in my possesion indeed shows a number with darker outline than its interior and the shade of colour of the interior of the number is different than the black areas of Balkenkreuz and IV Gruppe's cross aft to it. Of course, it could f.e. indicate a matt finish too.
Do any loss reports or other sources confirm red numbers on Bf 109 Fs of 11./JG 51 during Summer-Autumn 1942?
