thank you

thank you Batz

I got it off of Ebay for my birthday
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3707915225&category=20148&sspagename=STRK%3AMEBWN%3AIT&rd=1
i've seen the print go for over $700, it has 10 pilot sigs + plus the artist, from galland&rall to Tucker & Page to Jimmie Johnson & Gab
I think I got a steal as the frame is outstanding, gotta be 2 to 300 just for the matting and wood:

Yeah I se the color on the last image Eagler posted but I belive the wild boar shield was used in '41.



I believe Hptm. Rudolf Miethig of 3./JG 52 earned 101 kills and RK(top for 3./JG 52?)

Anyway:

Jagdgeschwader 52; I. Gruppe; 3. Staffel; gelbe 17 (also a high number for BoB)

I have seen it on I/JG52 Bf109E in 1940.
