Badly need photo reference for 6./ZG1 Bf109E with visible codes for the Polish Campaign period

[Larry Hickey]

Hello,

For the EoE color profile project for the Polish Campaign period of 09.39, I badly need a photo of a Bf109E from 6./ZG1. This unit became JGr101 in late-September, and adopted the "Racki" running dog emblem on the cowlings of their a/c, apparently after the Polish Campaign. I have lots of photos of unit a/c after it became JGr101 and adopted the running dog emblem, but none showing the unit from Aug-Sept, 1939, before it adopted this emblem. This would show an otherwise unmarked Bf109E with a yellow a/c number and a yellow II Gr horizontal bar after the fuselage cross. This would be on a plane with a 1939-style camouflage and a tail centered swastika.

I have good photos for the Stab, 4 and 5 Staffel, and am only lacking reference material for 6 Staffel for 09.39.

Can anyone help?

Regards,
