1939: a stunning Bf 109 E-3 flown by... St.G 7 !

[Andreas Brekken]

Hi, all.

With regards to Bf 109s operated by St.G.77 - the initial info was related to the fact that Bf 109s are listed as part of the inventory of Stab/St.G.77 from April through June 1941 on the www.ww2.dk site. That was the issue I contested.

These are the reported aircraft inventories for the Stab/St.G.77 for the period in question:

Info from www.ww2.dk:
31.3.41 - 15.4.41 Arad Ju 87B, Bf 109

Strength reports:
29.03.41 3/3 Ju 87B/R, 5/5 Do 17P, 4/4 Bf 110E
05.04.41 3/3 Ju 87B/R, 5/4 Bf 110E
12.04.41 3/3 Ju 87B/R, 6/5 Bf 110

Info from www.ww2.dk:
15.4.41 - 19.4.41 Bijeljina Ju 87B, Bf 109

Strength reports:
19.04.41 3/3 Ju 87B/R, 6/5 Bf 110

Info from www.ww2.dk:
19.4.41 - 5.41 Belgrade-Semlin Ju 87B, Bf 109
5.41 - 6.41 Argos Ju 87B, Bf 109

Strength reports:

26.4.41 4/3 Ju 87B/R, 8/3 Bf 110
3.5.41 4/3 Ju 87B/R, 8/3 Bf 110
10.5.41 4/3 Ju 87B/R, 8/3 Bf 110
17.5.41 3/2 Ju 87B/R, 7/6 Bf 110
24.5.41 3/1 Ju 87B/R, 6/2 Bf 110
31.5.41 3/1 Ju 87B/R, 6/2 Bf 110
7.6.41 3/2 Ju 87B/R, 6/2 Bf 110
14.6.41 3/2 Ju 87B/R, 7/6 Bf 110
21.6.41 3/1 Ju 87B/R, 7/6 Bf 110
28.6.41 3/2 Ju 87B/R, 6/3 Bf 110
5.7.41 3/1 Ju 87B/R, 6/4 Bf 110

There is no evidence that the unit reported having Bf 109's in their inventory from April 1940 through August 1941 (I have just checked my notes on unit strength reports - I have not made notes pre April 1940 for obvious reasons - being Norwegian).

Regards,
