Re: Help identify a crashed Spitfire with "A / E" markings
From what you have said I don't think it was a Spitfire Mk IX, as these had four bladed props as far as I can see from my files.
Can you tell from the photo whether the A or the E is part of the Sqn code or the individual aircraft letter and which side are they painted; port or starboard? Some Squadrons painted the Sqn codes so that they were nearest the cockpit on each side and the individual code letter nearest the tail where it would fit a bit easier, while other Sqns painted the code to read the same each side. I was wondering if the Spitfire was from 41 Sqn being A-EB with the B hidden
