IV.NJG.1 - Ofw. Paul Gildner - BF-110 (G9+HM) - Febr-Mar '41

[jjp_nl]

Getting closer to the G9+HM I'm looking for . I've seen this picture in Luftwaffe Im Focus 4. According to the description of the picture this is a BF-110D possibly equiped with one of the first something FuG202 units delivered to 4./NJG1. in February '42. The magazine says this picture was taken during the summer of '42 (I think Gildner by then was also flying Do-17/Do-215 tho as there's some picture of him posing near his mount around the time he was awared the Ritterkreuz in july 1941)

While probably not Gildners plane (unless he used multiple mounts) it still is a very usable reference to make out some of the details present on a typical BF-110D night-fighter/. Although the color of the registration on Gildners plane in febr-march '41 was light grey (or so I've been told) Nonetheless thanks for putting this picture up
