I'll start as this one isn't German!
YAK-9 on skis!

the rest are all yours!

Erich · 11-27-2006, 05:58 PM

could you please enlarge the 5 photo down ?

appears to be Bf 110G-2 bomber destroyers either from ZG 1 or ZG 76 due to the wide fuselage band either white or yellow. long upper nose 2cm weapons.

thanks for sharing

Third one down is a Blohm und Voss Bv-138. One of THE best long range maritime aircraft used for U-Boat resupply and reconnaisance.

No, the first picture is not a Yak! It is a MiG 3.

The 4th picture shown typical He 111B.

#2 Heinkel He 51, but not for sure
#4 Heinkel He 111 E or F
#5 Messerschmitt Bf 110 G-2
#6 Focke Wulf fw 44 Stieglitz
#7 Heinkel He 59, probabely vers. B, of a SNG in the Med.

The He 51 didn't have a chin radiator.

oh noo...

that means i still don't have a pic of an early YAK on skis! net_sailor is the first pic not a YAK. i know the last one was my bad on posting the Mig under Yak..

All the German ones were common Luftwaffe aircraft and easy to identify.

Zuluecho no your last pic is of an earlier war e or f model Bf 110 and not one of the later 1943-44 G-2 bomber destroyers. you photo - last one shows the upper nose containing four MG 17's not the twin long rod 2cm weapons of the G-2 in this case.

net_sailor · 11-28-2006, 02:14 PM

I almost forgot about this one:

Sorry, but I think it is Yak-1 of first winter 1941/42 production with skis. Production of Yak-9 started on October 1942.

Hi !!!
Sorry, but in my opinion the pic doesn't show Yak-9

but Yak-1 probably.I have to check it with a book about Yak fighters.

Ha,ha... Net sailor has been faster than me.I agree with him completly.It is interesting that the a/c wasn't probably equipped with radio receiver ( the lack of the radio aerial with its mast)

I can exclude the F version, a small radiator under engine used on C, D and E variants is clearly visilible. i think C version is very probable.
