Hans Schmoller-Haldy

Holá Buz,
I think I can be of help with a series of photos and profiles of Schmoller-Haldy's F-2. However I would like to see the artwork you have mentioned here before I take the time to bring my infos in sequence for posting here.
I can asure you that it was the F-2, yellow 1, because it was his last operational Bf 109 in which he belly-landed on 23rd February 42 near Chudowo. His career continued in the Stab of Gen der Jagdflieger Galland.
Cheers

Hi Horst

Thanks for the reply. Attached is a close up of the art work (cropped down a little from the whole photo).

Holá Buz,
thank you for your posted photo. Please note that you have to give it a vertical mirror, the cockpit canopy on the 109 always opens to the right hand side. Unfortunately your photo does not show Schmoller-Haldy's F2, yellow 1. The Micky is different but you probably know that a lot of members of J/88 (spanish civil war) continued to use their old emblems, in Schmoller-Haldy's case 3.J/88. I attach a detail of his F2 and a profile of the same. Hope it helps, btw if you don't mind could you send me the complete photo by e-mail, pls?
Cheers

Well, hihotte, the photo you posted depicts a Bf 109E while the photo Buz posted is a mirrored image of a Bf 109F.
