Bf109G-2/trop X8-7 named 'Irmgard' which was captured by the 87th Fighter Squadron, 79th Fighter Group. War Prizes includes a photo of this aircraft while still in Tunisia before transfer to Wright Field. (page 184) Irmgard' originally operated as a reconnaissance aircraft with 2 (H)/14 and was coded 14. It was shot down by British troops near Zarzis in Tunisia March 1, 1943. The wrk nr was either 14329 or 14629. The 87th repainted the code x8-7 on Irmgard and also added the Group's insignia as can be seen in the photo above.

Probably early 1944 built Bf 109 G-6. With Erla-canopy mounted antenna mast, FuG 16 loop. Galland panzer head armour, lower Fug 25 IFF aerial.
The wood props under the wings ( you can just see the one under the far wing by the schwarze-mann's leg) are unusual.
