Re: Photos 5-21-12

Ed,

great and very interesting as ever. Of special note is that one

In the center of the photograph one can see "Herr Meier" (Göring) during an airfield visit.

Horrido

Re: Photos 5-21-12

Hello,

Has anyone got an opinion as to the identity of the Bf109E with the markings <I-+- in the background? Haven't seen that combination of staff markings before that I can remember.

Regards,

That 109E...

Ed, thank you, as ever, for finding and posting these links. It's always a treat.

Larry,

It reminds me of Bf 109E-1 WNr.5375 of the Stab/JG 53, which was photographed at La Villiaze, Guernsey.

It was lost 5.Sept. 1940 while being flown by Hptm. Wilhelm Meyerweissflog, a 51 year old Stabsoffizer. P.o.W. near Monkton near Manston.

Prien, JG 53, I (2nd), p.198;
SAM 7.5, Feb. 85, Payne, p. 314-5 dwg & photo.
Bf 109 into Battle, Payne, rear cover color plate.

Hope this helps, GRM
