Thanks for that, must admit I hadn't thought of the 109 upgrades on MG'sEarly 109s had the 7.92 guns but by the time of your event most would have had the 13mm MG131s which are pretty much the same calibre as the American 50s. Good luck with your project.
I have read that aswell, but a story has gone around that she might have been shot down by her own side. This is because she was going to try to get her husband out from forced imprisonment, and fly to Switzerland. A farmer claims it was two Me109's that he saw going after the Bu 181. Thanks for your inputHer downing has been credited to 1lt. Norboune, 15th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron, USAAF, which flew P-51 Mustangs.
So her Bücker would have had damage from .50 caliber MGs.
Wasn't that one of if not THE last Mustang kill of WWII?It might be important to mention the Lt. Norborne was flying a P-51C (which it and the earlier type Mustangs) were often mis-identified as a Bf109.
