Possible JG 52?

Looks very similar also to Duttmann's black 12. Black 12 had the possibly red spinner front, as seen in Barbas' "II./JG 52..." page 151. Dated July 1943.

Hello D & D,

I agree completely with you both... This one has a "say red" spinner front too.
a G-2 or G-4 in 1943, on Russian front. The only loss I have is Denk one. But:
- Time (February) doesn't match with what we have on the picture.
- It seems his plane exploded.

But 5./JG 52 sounds good, anyway.

Regards, Franck.

Hello Franck,

Don't discard the NAGr units; they also used small sized numbers.

Cheers

Hello Marc,

Good idea!
a NAGr. with a II.Gruppe bar?
Gelbe 12 captured in Italy got one but it was overpainted, and got small remains on one side only.
But the spinner clue is good enough for the moment...
I'm just expecting one TOCHEAN kind enough to check his losses list.

Tschüss mon ami, à bientôt.

Franck.
