Bf 109 in unusual markings

I share with you an article that features a compilation of photos showing one of the main fighters of WW2 with markings that any Luftwaffe’s Commander or pilot, when the war began, imagine one day see in their planes.

The pictures of the 109 marked ‘CV’ are of course what we now know as ‘Black 6’

There used to be a preserved Axis aircraft site which listed what (obviously) what there was that had survived to the present day, and also artefacts too – but it appears it hasn’t lasted as long as the things it was listing.

So does anyone know of a suitable replacement site…?

Oh no!, that was a great resource!

On a side note, what’s the status of that BoB 109E that was recovered from India?

As it stands I don’t believe many of those made it much further than a scrapyard, but I hope I am wrong.

Hi All,

Thanks for that, hadn’t seen a few of those, the colour shot of the 109 in US markings is a ripper
