All-black Bf 109

May 44 is time when JG 300 turn from wilde saw to day fighting. Indeed no lost recorded for JG 300 on 29th of May in J.Y.Lorant books.

Thanks guys!


John, are there any details of the time and location of these losses?
According to www.ww2.dk JG 302 was based at Völkenrode at this time, which was nowhere near Stettin.
I'll have a dig through ww2.dk to see what units defended the Politz oil refineries at that time.

Locations listed as St. Polten and Völkenrode near Braunschweig. No times.

Hi guys

I am aware that Bf109s of JG301 flew night sorties in mid-1944 in defence of the V-1 launching sites in France - may they have been painted black?

Cheers

Jim P. These transfer sheets only show black undersides. Not overall black aircraft. Or am I missing something?

Gentlemen,

just a note for this topic. Since the '70's the tale of the black Hungarian Bf 109E's appearing continuously. In fact, the Royal Hungarian Air Force never used black painted Messers.
