Re: INFO NEEDED on Me109 G4 W.Nr. 15137 & 15121

GRM, You are confused, I know, I am talking of the Apples not the Oranges ;-)

"Irmgard" indeed was W.Nr. 10605, that is not the point. The point is that it was at Wright Field, and has had an wing change. Photos in the links show it with "original" wing in Africa but photo at Wright Field it has sprung another wing, this one with "original" German marking.

More. In between tasks today, I have revued captured aircraft lists. Neither of them numbers on that wing appear in Trapani/Milo lists of captured examples.

Furthermore, we do not know at all when this transfer between planes happened. That could have been much, much earlier (than the GQM losses indicate), and one replacement wing could well have been on "Irmgard" after all!
