Bf 109G-10 - Red 13

A Messerschmitt Bf 109G-10 of the 2nd Squadron, 27th Luftwaffe Fighter Wing (2./JG 27) designated as “Red 13”. Note that this Bf 109G-10 was found intact, belly-landed in a field. The W.Nr. on its rudder is a qualified guess. As it is known that the Gruppen flew this type of G-10, 109s from the 151XXX block, some of them camouflaged in an overall RLM 81/82 colors. This machine had been quoted as “Black 13” however the 2./JG 27 used only red numerals by this time. Artwork by Claes Sundin.
