This was W.Nr. 7743.

According to Francis Marshall's book on the Toni it served with JG 77 in 1941, but I have no further details regarding Staffel or pilot.

It later (1943) went to NJG101 where it was damaged 30 % on 6. June that year.

PIlots know to have flown it include Wallischeck and Riediger (test andfatory pilots).

Kjetil

Hello all, look here:

But I don´t know if it is up-to-date...
I think Jochen Prien could help you in questions about the Staffel.

Hi, Heuser and Kjetil

In accordance with Bf 109 Stammkennzeichen it belonged to I./JG 77. The Staffel is not mentioned.

This T-2 was used in combat for this unit?

At least it was on strength with the unit, but as there is no record of accidents above 10 % it may have been in storage or seen little operational flying.

If you are looking for a Bf 109T with an interesting war history there are better aircraft to choose!

I found your superb profiles of the Bf 109T here:

And a friend loaned a french magazine with many interesting photos and profiles of Bf 109T-2.
