Messerschmitt Bf-109E JG2.1 (Y5+) assembling for a mission Querqueville, France August 1940 01
Photo’s 01-02: Bf-109Es of the I. and III. Gruppen of JG2 seen prior to take-off from Cherbourg-West (Querqueville) in the latter part of August 1940. In the photograph the aircraft JG1: in the foreground, 'Yellow 5', appears to carry an upper surface scheme of 02/71 with a heavily applied fuselage mottle in the fashion of the unit. Most - but not all - aircraft have the now commonly seen colored rudders and cowlings, though some are white and others yellow. The Bf-109 far right has a yellow cowling and rudder yet still wears its four letter Stammkennzeichen.
