Nicknames on Bf109F-4's of 9./JG3
Hi!
I'm doing some profiles of 9./JG3's Bf109F-4's, the ones with camoflage schemes based on RLM78/79... I'm trying to find out details about as many as possible of these nice looking aircraft, especially the names written below the canopy and I know the following:
Yellow 2 - Pilot: Ofw. Schentke, "Peterle" under the cockpit
Yellow 4 - Pilot: Ofw. von Boremski, "Maxi" under the cockpit
Yellow 7 - Pilot: Bauer, "Ellen" under the cockpit
Yellow 10 - Pilot: Lt.Diergardt, and here I need help, there's a picture in Prien and Rodeike's book about the 109, that shows the top half of the name but I can't figure out what it reads! Looking at the known names it's obvious that they didn't all use girlfriends names, but maybe petnames or nicknames as well. If anyone has any suggestions I'd be greatful to see them!
Also if anyone knows details of any of the other aircraft of the staffel, I'm all ears!
Cheers! / Anders Hjortsberg
