Small loss issue possibly solved, Bf 109 F-4/trop in JG 53
Hi, guys.
A possibility for a small correction of what seemed to be a duplicate loss record possibly solved by an eBay auction. Messerschmitt Bf 109 F-4/trop WNr 10194 was reported damaged in bomb raids by III./JG 53 and Stab/JG 53 within a month at the same airfield in North Africa: http://www.aviationhistory.no/ref_db...?lossid=150003 http://www.aviationhistory.no/ref_db...?lossid=148144 The following photograph of WNr 10149 is up for auction now: http://www.ebay.de/itm/Foto-abgestue...-/381056398464 and I wonder if this is really the damage reported by Stab/JG 53 on August 8th 1942 - they have simply switched the last two digits in the loss report. It seems this aircraft captured by the allies, any reports on it? Thoughts? Regards, Andreas B
