Messerschmitt Bf109E Yellow 12+~ ? 9/JG2?
Hi could anybody possibly help identify the circumstances of the following photo I am trying to date, and tie up to any known loss.
I have a picture of a Messerschmitt 109E under going recovery or removal from the rear of a truck. The a/c is coded with what appears to be yellow or brownish 12+~ from 9/JG2, the scan is from Flicker with the original source being " Parcellesdhistoires" The photo is taken in the middle of a French street right outside a shop displaying the sign " Au Paradis Des Dames" Flickr attribute this a/c as from 8/JG2 and red 12+~ but I believe from the photos I have that 8/JG2 either coded their a/c with red or black numerals with a white outline , and not black as the photo I have clearly shows. No date is given but the camouflage is typical for May 1940 period. Any help would be most appreciated. Steve. |
