Hi,

The black solid triangle means that this airplane (possibly a Me109E-7) belonged to a Schlachtgeschwader (Ground Attack Unit). At that time there was only one Geschwader especialized in ground support, and they fought in Balkans and the Russian Front. They replaced their Me109´s for the Focke-Wulf FW190F during the summer of 1943.

So, it is quite possible that the unit is the Schlachtgeschwader 1 (Schl.G 1). However I couldn´t identify which was the Gruppe, although they had only one Gruppe up to 1942, if I´m not mistaken.

Hope it helps you a bit.

Regards,

Douglas

Hi Tom, welcome, I'm glad you managed to solve the login problem. That certainly looks like a Stuka to me.

Best regards/ Daniel
