Spitfire IX EN199 1943
Hi guys
The restored EN199 resides at Takali Air Museum, Malta. And beautiful she is, too!
The aircraft's history is known except for May and June 1943, when it may have possibly been loaned to 52nd Fighter Group. Can anyone confirm this?
The reason for the enquiry is that a US Star was visible under the RAF roundel during restoration. I am aware that some RAF and FAA aircraft carried US Stars during and after Operation Torch to fool the Vichy French, but .......
Over to the experts.
Cheers
Brian
