Messerschmitt Bf-110C Zerstörer NJG1.4 (S9+JM) Operation Donnerkeil 01

Photo 01: This aircraft belonged to 4./NJG1 and is reported to have taken part in Operation 'Donnerkeil', for which purpose the uppersurfaces were re-camouflaged in a green finish more appropriate for operations over the sea. Note again the white rear fuselage band, possibly applied for the operation to identify the aircraft as friendly to the German warships.
