Album info
In the end of December 1944 this one-o-nine was delivered to I./JG 53. Upon arrival it received a yellow fuselage stripe together with the unit insignia on the nose, the Stab markings were added to the fuselage and rudder was painted yellow while the vertical stabilizer port side retained the first numeral 6 from the serial number and the last numeral 8 on the starboard side. After a brief operational activity at I./JG 53 the airplane was handed over to II./JG 52. Here the markings of the previous operator were overpainted with the camouflage color. In April 1945 the II./JG 52 operated on the Protektorat Böhmen und Mähren territory where it flew missions in support of the German ground units fighting the defense combat against the Soviet offensive on Brno. The picture captures the aircraft marked yellow 6 at Ainring airport in Bavaria on May 8, 1945
