Bf 109G-2 flown by Kurt Ubben, Gruppenkommandeur of III/JG 77. Lyuban, Russia. Spetember 1942. The unit deployed there with their brand new G-2's to bolster the German fighter force in the Leningrad area in response to the Soviet offensive to break the siege. Their planes were painted very similar to JG 54's with a dark green camouflage pattern and yellow theater markings. 88 victory marks were painted on the tail. The III/JG 77 wolf's head emblem was painted on the cowl. Ubben marked his plane with a yellow 1 inside a white chevron, rather than use the usual double chevron seen by other pilots in position.
