Photo's 01-02: On 21 November 1940, I./JG77 was redesignated IV./JG51 and was the last Gruppe of that Geschwader to re-equip with the Bf 109E This 'Black 5' was flown by Uffz. Heinz Klopper of 11./JG51, and the cross behind the fuselage Balkenkreuz is the symbol used at this time to identify aircraft of the IV. Gruppe. Klapper had originally flown with 2./JG77 and in mid-April 1941, shortly after this photograph was taken, was promoted to Feldwebel. He scored his first victory on 5 October 1940 but claimed no more until JG51 went to Russia. Then, however, he became most successful. He was awarded the RK on 4 September 1942 and later became Staffelkapitan of 7./JG1. As an Oberleutnant with 94 victories, Klapper was killed on 29 November 1943.
