Picture of the day

[bearhunter]

Me 109E. Blunt nosed spinner and stabilizer struts. "Any landing you walk away from is a good one."

That almost looks like the pilot slumped against the instrument panel?????

"I'm blowing this GD Tiger up good so those Krauts can't recover it and get it shooting at me again".

Why do they have numbers on the front of their helmets?

Looks a lot more like a 109D to me. Bottom of the engine cowling is a dead giveaway.

I didn't think any E's where equipped with a two bladed prop....They where all three bladed where they not?

by the looks of the track it was going backwards before it got hung up, Italy ? Just noticed the warmed over motorcycle in the pic too

Most likely bulldozed off a route to keep it open.

The application of the proper amount of high explosives can solve any problem.

Gibbs505, numbers on helmets served as unit identification. They also had ranks painted on the back of the helmet.

pw58, yup. Picture was taken near Rome. There is another picture of this same pile of vehicles but from different angle. It shows Italian armored car, German motorcycle a that Marder 3.

I'll stick with the 109E call. I think I recall a pic of Kondor Legion 109's lined up in Spain equipped with two bladed props. The Brits used similar two bladed props on early Hurricanes and Spits.

BF-109D-1. The shape of the engine cowling is a lot different than a 109E. That is because the D-series had a Junkers Jumo 210D. The E-series is when they introduced the Daimler-Benz DB-601.

I'm not sure I get what you are hinting at with this?

I know who that cat is, (read about him when I was 13), and I've always thought he was a stand up guy, no?

What I meant by that is that for some, he may be considered a politically correct martyr.

Others not so much.

I sit corrected! Thanks for clarification.
