Messerschmitt Bf 109 F-4 Trop

 

W.Nr. 10266, Black double chevron triangle Stab./JG 77, Flown by Major Gordon Gollob, Oktoberfeld/USSR, 20 May 1942

Yesterday Delmar from Texas sent me a photo of Gordon Gollobs Bf 109 F-4. This photo was new to me and had been published in one of Eric Mombeek's books. As I always try to improve on my work this new version was made today.

The Geschwaderkommodore Gordon Gollob scored his 103 kill in this machine on the 9 June, a Polikarpov I-153.

After the dog-fight Gollob was forced the make an emergency landing due to battle damage.

With 35% sustained damage he thereafter flew in another F-4 Trop marked NJ+UW, previously published here.
