Spitfire Mk IXc AE B serial EN398
Hello all,
I was wondering if anybody has some quality photos of this aircraft. I found one, but the quality was pretty bad. Thank you. Last edited by Oberst; 3rd November 2014 at 04:52. |

Re: Spitfire Mk IXc AE B serial EN398
Any idea what's written on the rudder near the top?

It was an inspection stamp.

Re: Spitfire Mk IXc AE B serial EN398
Have you seen this one?
Some folks think it's not the real deal because it's quite different from a lot of perceptions folks have of JEJ. This photo was taken when Johnson was Wing Commander of RCAF 403 Wolf Squadron in late 1944 or early 1945 at Eindhoven Holland. |

I have not seen that. Thanks. But I though JJ flew a Mk.XIV during that time.

The picture was likely taken before, during or after Operation Market Garden in September/October 1944.
Possibly when 403 Squadron was on the move to Base 82 Grave Holland. |

It's the real deal. I've seen a period copy of the same image.

Re: Spitfire Mk IXc AE B serial EN398
Thanks again. Perhaps the dates are off, or perhaps JJ uses multiple aircraft, Becouse in June 44 he was flying a Mk.14c. Thanks again.
