ME-109G-6 would be a good bet.

I just happen to have some material on the Croat AF during WW2 around here somewhere. It also has some pics of LW planes operating in the same area I think. Give me a bit to find it and I will post anything if I come up with something.

Isn't that Hurricane the Hybrid with a DB?
I knew they flew some hybes, but in this case the top looks like a DB while the exhaust stacks are too high for it..:huh

Hey Duh, were you looking for Croatian AF or Luftwaffe planes flying out of bases in Coratia?

Well imagine 30 b24's bombing the town core....Fortunately all roman buildings survived, even the corpse of Saint Sime.
