Could be an early Mölders' Bf 109 E ?

Hi Robert:

Harro Harder is a good option but:

Two victories in the tail.

Harder: 2,3 and 4th in August, 11

Wilcke: 4th in August,31

Which one's plane? A good question, I think.

A very interesting photo. it is the first time that I see it and I think that probably someone will have more information on the owner.

Regards. Saludos

No less than five Ju 88s in this group. The Do 17 is really an early Ju 88, BQ+Wx, DJ+OX is probably W.Nr.5676 (Really neat, what is the color scheme?), which fits with the following two Ju 88s of KGr 806. The tail appears to be W.Nr.1333 which would have been a D-1. If the W.Nr. is correct, there 3 other images of this aircraft. The photo identified as a Ju 88 A-6 appears to be an He 111 H-16 or 20 perhaps?

Best Regards,

Artie Bob

Hi Miguel,

1.this photo was taken not in August but in late June- early July so we could easy rule out Wilcke
2.the exactly number of Harder victories prior to the 11.08.40 is unknown - he could have even 4 claims.
3.another possibility is Olt.Heinz Wittenberg - because the III/JG53 was led between 20.06 and 13.07.40 by NN. Perhaps Wittenberg was appointed temporarily Commander? He had 2 victories in this timeframe.

Regards

Robert

Robert,

I appreciate very much your answer and very useful information.

Wittenberg looks as a sound option.

Thank you very much.

Hi Miguel,

this is a plane of Pingel. These two bars mark his two claims made while acting as temporarily group`s commander.

Regards

Robert
