High Altitude Devil
« on: April 02, 2023, 05:47:34 PM »
Bf 109G-5 (pressurized cockpit version of a G-6) operated by 9./Jg 54 in early 1944. This plane is known to have been flown by three different pilots; Emil Hecker, Gerhard Kroll, and Fritz Unger. It was shot down on April 8, 1944 with Kroll flying it. Kroll survived this event.

Yellow 11 was photographed with a improvised "high altitude" camouflage scheme consisting of splotches and squiggles of RLM 76 over the usual top side grays of RLM 74 and 75. Not sure how well it worked with all the brightly colored markings typical of 9./Jg 54.

Been flying more 109’s lately I look forward to that one!
Back in 2022 after a loooooong break from 2010. Old name Ratpack, same for the BBS.

Squad I did the most tours with were the Excaliburs then The 172nd Rabid Dogs. Still trying to talk Illigaf, Coola, Oldman22, and Joecrow into coming back instead of being boring old farts!
