If it is an F, then it is not Romanian. There is not enough in the photo to tell the type for sure, but I can see that it is armed with MG17 guns so it is not a G-6. My guess is G-2 or G-4.
This caption is just a small "niggle", the book is quite good otherwise. Radu |

The plane it is not Romanian. The picture is from a photo album offered in late 41 or early 42 by the 1st Fighter Flotilla pilots to General Jienescu. All the downed planes from this album (also from the book) looks like being Romanian victories.

Sorry... I do not understand... Do you mean that this is a picture of a Messerschmitt shot down by Romanian pilots? How? In what circumstances? Planes of that type were used only by "friendly" nations at the time when the type was in use (Germany, Hungary, Italy). Did Romanian pilots shoot down a "friendly"? The Russians captured a few, but they never used them in combat. A much more likely scenario is that it is a German F/G or a Romanian G that fell victim to a Russian airfield attack (or maybe crashed during take-off/landing). By the way, if you ever need help with aircraft identification, please do not hesitate to write me a PM. HTH Radu |

thank you muggs. Anyway, the tail assembly looks more like LaGG 3 for me. I mean the horizontal stabilising of an Me 109 is not below the ungle of the tail where the tail meet the fuselage. |

I have this photo. By appearance, it's a Bf 109, either F or G.
If I remember correctly, it's an F used during transition to the "Gustav", but I need to double check it. Gen. Dénes This post has been edited by Dénes on September 01, 2012 03:23 pm |

Look in the midle of the ashes. You see a trapese-shaped structure with two diagonal bars at the top corners. That is the windscreen frame of a Bf.109 and those diagonal bars are handholds. But even without that "clue", it is evident because of the MG17 gun-throughs on the nose that it is a Bf.109. As I said, this is not a big problem, so let us not make a big thing out of it.
