Hello GM,

Not that much more than this picture taken in April-May 1942, since soon afterwards the plane was flown - with same markings - by Hptm. Oskar-Heinrich "Pritzl" Bär. 19 May 1942 in Konstantinovka, at least... With two victory marks added.

Cheers, Franck.

I have these from an eBay auction, which also contained an image of the tail similar to your own:

Good evening Gentlemen,

when did Herbert Ihlefeld upgrade from the Bf109E to the Bf109F ?

Kind regards,

Michael

By courtesy of Russ I learned that Ihlefeld had a Bf109F as early as summer 1941.
Can anybody provide me with a list of his WW2 kills #109-123 ?

Cheers,

Michael

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean here. The captions on the profiles you have provided state different WNr. Therefore not the same plane?

Re: Herbert Ihlefeld WNr. 7555 Bf 109F4

Good morning,

did Ihlefeld claim all his Spain kills in a Bf109B or did he also fly the Bf109C ?

Cheers,

Michael

Re: Herbert Ihlefeld WNr. 7555 Bf 109F4

Good evening Gentlemen,

I wonder if Herbert Ihlefeld scored 128 or 129 kills in the Bf109.
Can anybody tell me the dates of 22 claims after 22Apr1942 ?

Michael
