Two pictures of Messerschmitt Bf 109 C-1 or D-1 of an unidentified Luftwaffe unit. As these aircraft have already the two ventilation slits behind the exhaust and show the wing armament (although removed here), these aircraft are not Bf 109 B’s. Note also the large opening in the middle of the spinner of the VDM-metal propeller, intended for the MG 17. The style of the German cross indicates that these pictures were probably taken during the winter of 1940/41. Most of the aircraft carry the typical 1940 camouflage.
