Osprey Aircraft of the Aces

Hello Tangmere1940,
Thank you very much for the pictures.

I check Aircraft of the Aces (Bf109) of Osprey Publishing because has the same pictures that you posted. I did not noticed that the markings is 12 I thought Arnold’s bf109 was 11.
The picture has no any comments regarding the German Pilot who flew this aircraft but you can read that was shot down on August 30th by Hurricanes of No 253 Squadron so we can say that S/L Tom Gleave was the pilot who shot him down.
Well I can say that using the book as reference but perhaps somebody could have another information.

Best Regards.
