eBay an interesting Bf109
Hi gents,

http://www.ebay.de/itm/Foto-Flugzeug...sAAOSwAvJW-mUf
http://www.ebay.de/itm/Foto-Flugzeug...3D231894841063
and already sold ...
http://www.ebay.de/itm/Foto-Flugzeug...p2047675.l2557

So; Hugo Frey machine. But what about black undersides? What about emblem? And, if possible, Nickname?

Any comment is welcome, Thank you in advance.

Regards, Franck.

Re: eBay an interesting Bf109
Isn't this machine one shared between III./JG 11 and JG 301 for Zahme Sau night hunting?

Cheers
Marc

Re: eBay an interesting Bf109
My comment is the white or yellow tail appears to be a replacement since it bears no camouflage.

It's white and designates a Kommodore or Kommandeur, a marking introduced for Reich defence units in February 1944. See: http://www.ghostbombers.com/markings/bands1.html

Hi there Gang,

Photographic evidence does show white tailed Staffelkapitän and Gruppenkommandeur machines since Summer 1943 as evidenced here:

Thanks. I suspect that many of the orders issued about markings were just to standardise something that was already being done.

Re: eBay an interesting Bf109
You're welcome Nick !

After checking again, one of the "late" white tails can be seen here, a 7./JG 27 machine, photographed on 2 December 1943.

Re: eBay an interesting Bf109
Hi Gents,

All details concerning white tails can be read in JFV Teil 10.II. page 39 ...
Any news concerning the emblem ?
Thanks.
