This is a fascinating thread!

Hello. I was wondering if anybody has the story of what happened with JG4 on 12 September, 1944? I believe they clashed with USAAF B-17s near Magdeburg, but can't find much other info about the battle apart from Gunther von Kornatzki being KIA. Any input is recieved with great interest...

Thanks Erich. Your information is very much appreciated. I'm working on the premise that the 361st FG and II (sturm)./ JG300 were in the same general area at the same general time ( ie: participated in the same air battle), as the basis of the link for my two model subjects. I read today that...

I was wondering if Anybody can confirm if there is any evidence at all that this aircraft (E2-D_)carried the fuselage invasion stripes? most modelling references and profiles show it with prominent fuselage D-Day stripes, but in all of the original photos of this aircraft I have seen ( internet...

Hello. I am new to posting in this forum, so please excuse if I am posting in the wrong section. I am doing a build of two aircraft, for a modelling competition in a few months. I have read a lot of sources like Osprey's 'Mustang Aces of the Eighth Airforce',the Eagle Editions JG300...
