Help! Need info on 109 tail piece!
I recently acquired a swastika cut from the tail of a downed Me 109. The section of tail was obtained directly from the daughter of the B-17 pilot who cut the piece from the aircraft. (You can see it on my website www.danielsww2.com - "Tail of a 109" page, the photos are too large to upload here.)
I was wondering if anyone had any idea of how to get additional information on this piece. I know it was taken from the downed 109 in November of 1942, near Algeria, North Africa. I didn't find any werk number on it, but does anyone has any idea of how to research 109's that went down in this area around this time? Or how I could go about finding out what squadron this may have belonged to? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
