That Pearl pic shows a Vought Kingfisher or what is left of it. The engine and wing with float attached. Also there is a helping of Army P-40's thrown in I'm sure.

imalko:

Many thanks for the pics of the two Luftwaffe aircraft in Russia.

The way the '109 (no wheel doors ?) is parked up outside the hangar, with a smiling pilot about to dismount, smacks of a 'posed' picture, although I do not doubt the damage is real enough. Any idea of the date, unit, location at all on this ?

The KG.28 He 111 I have a couple of pictures of, including a close-up of the damage which appeared on e-Bay a couple of years ago. Sorry to keep repeating the same questions, but (again) do you have a date for this extraordinary incident ? Did the Luftwaffe loss-returns for the Eastern Front cover incidents like this, or did they - as in the West - only cover incidents where casualties resulted ?

Please let me know if you have anything similar as it is precisely what I'm seeking.

It is Pearl Harbor. Read the numbers on the bottom of the photo. December 7, 1941.

Nice pics BTW.

You are welcome mate and sorry for late response, but I've managed to miss your post...

Regarding the damaged Bf 109 photo, here are details: The aircraft is Messerschmitt Bf 109F-4/R1 (W.Nr. 13171) "White 5" flown by Unteroffizier Gerhard Raiman of 7./JG 54. Photo was taken on 8th May 1942 and shows Raiman after return from action inspecting the damage on his aircraft which was result of a direct hit by antiaircraft fire. (I'm not sure about exact location, but it might be Krasnogvardeisk or Siverskaya perhaps.) At the time of the incident Raiman had 4 aerial victories to his credit. He was shot down and killed by a P-47 over Germany later in the war. Another picture of this damaged Bf 109 can be seen in attachment to this post. (Source: Jagdwaffe-War In Russia).

Regarding the details on damaged He-111 give me some time to see what I can find and I'll let you know.

Thanks very much for the second picture of the shot-up Bf 109, and an even bigger THANK YOU for the excellent information on the incident and the pilot involved.
There are many, many pictures of battle-damaged aircraft out there, but sadly, in many cases the accompanying information is lacking, inaccurate or simply "propaganda-orientated".
In this case you've been kind enough to provide both, and your help is very much appreciated.
