Is it me or does it look like Erich Hartmann's 109 with the tulip on the nose and the heart on the side that if of higher detail say Karaya?

If it is so didn't Erich fly with JG52?

Just seems to bug me a bit.

About a years worth of back and forth discussion on its history and markings while it was being researched and worked on by both Fencer and NRaven....

Hartmann was with JG53 in late 44 or early 45.

Ah I read in his autobiography that he surrendered to the United States and was sent to the Russians with JG52.

Sigh..

"Hptm. Erich Hartmanm, who by that time had increased his victory total to 336 was, in late January 1945, assigned to lead I./JG53."
