Hey Michal

This plane was build in 1938 by Erla-Werke Leipzig as version E-3.
On 10. May 1940 this plane belonged to 2.(J)/LG 2 and wears vkz "black 12 +". At this time, it was damaged by an emergency landing because lack of fuel at Euskirchen/Germany.
You can find a picture of this plane in "Luftwaffe im Focus No.1, page 3.

Regards
JoMe

Hi JoMe,

Thank you very much for the superb info. The date is valid for the emergency landing or I´am in mistake ?
This 109 continued in service with II./JG 51 as personal mount of Hptm. Fözö in 1941.

Regards,
Michal
