Seeking W.Nr. of a/c flown by Hptm Werner Mölders from 09.39 to 05.06.40

[Larry Hickey]

Hello,

For the EoE project, we're doing a complete series of color profiles of the a/c that Werner Mölders flew during 1939-40 with I & III./JG53 and Stab./JG51. We've identified at least seven different 109s that he flew during that period, six Bf109Es and one Bf109F-1. We're attempting to profile all of them, including alternative markings and camouflage patterns as they evolved over time.

The one that he flew as Gr Kdr of III./JG53 is well known from photography. It carried W.Nr. on the fin in the standard location, but, despite several photos showing this area, none are clear enough to decipher the W.Nr. Does anyone have photo that shows this area of the tail of his <<+I clearly enough to read this W.Nr.?

Regards,
