Bf109E-1 (E-3??), "Weisse 9", 1./JG 51 New picture on eBay
Hi Gents,
This picture http://www.ebay.de/itm/2WK-Altes-Fot...item27ca39eee6 All ready given by Ed West list that week. Dr. Prien did start a thread on LEMB forum about whether it's an E-1 or an E-3 (Typo on LW lost list?), and gave us a place and time took from an old auction caption. Thank's for that Jochen. Note that that very plane start to be very well depicted; I have 7 different photos of it (couting that last one). Concerning that E-1/E-3 identification and the question raised by Jochen; My answer is YES. - There is no MGFF in removable fairing (different pictures of same plane where fairing isn't removed) - Top wing is stained by MG shots. - This is not the only plane presenting such characteristics (with many pictures too). - For some of other planes with same feature, WNr. is known. - David Weiss aka "Falcon" did already raise this aspect in his site (underpicture comments) but less clearly than Dr. Prien does now... And if I remember well I had small mail discussions with David upon this type identification problem. Whether is WNr.2666 or not ( hence a true typo from LW lost list) I'm not able to decide. Dr. Prien suggestion (small Arado production) is quite interesting and give us another aspect to check out. Regards, Franck. |

Good Clint,
Like that TOCH members will have a clearer idea of what Dr. Prien wrote. Better like that. And more probably there are more answers I didn't get ... yet! Regards, Franck. |
