Bf-109F-4 w.n. 13071 and Bf-109G-2 w.n. 13435 question.

[Tomislav Haramincic]

Hello,

I believe that the first case (WNr.13071) is a simple Werknummer error, mistype, misprint or similar. My records show as well the 100% loss on the 20.03.42. I do not have the second loss on the 26.06.42 recorded with this WNr., but with a very similar one - WNr.13171!
26.06.42 Bf 109F-4 WNr.13171 5./JG52 N.N., Überschlag beim Start, Fl.Pl. Grakowo - 100% (F-4/R1)

Regarding the WNr.13435, I have the same losses recorded as you. In this case I think that both the possibilities you mentioned should be considered. There are known examples when damaged airframes were "recaptured", repaired and flown again. For instance, WNr.13436 was recorded as a 100% loss on the 28.07.42, recovered and converted to a G-12, and delivered to JGr. Ost.

best regards,
Tomislav
