Luftwaffe Bf 109 swastika tail sections

[Bob Lyons]

Hi all,

Thought I would show a couple of Hakenkreuzen taken from Bf 109 aircraft, and at least the small portion of tail has survived over the years, I will start off with an example that is displayed at the RAAF Museum at Point Cook, on the outskirts of Melbourne.

And a couple that I have in my collection, a European example and another from the desert campaign. Here they are together...

A closer view of the DAK example, complete with a bit of battle damage.....
