Messerschmitt Bf 109E JG2.1 (Y6+) Querqueville, France August 1940 01

Messerschmitt Bf 109E-3 of 1./JG2 based at Cherbourg-West, Summer 1940.
Bf 109E-3 or E-4, 'Yellow 6' of I./JG2, seen at Cherbourg-West in the Summer of 1940. This aircraft was finished in a high demarcation 02/71 finish with a very light mottle of 02 on the fuselage sides and fin. The now familiar areas of yellow paint applied to the cowling and rudder were intended to assist rapid air-to-air identification of friendly aircraft. The fuselage Balkenkreuz was of standard proportions, but the Hakenkreuz seems to lack the usual black and white edging. The large, rounded style of fuselage number is unusual.
