From March, 1941 till September, 1943, Otto Kath served as Geschwaderadjutant for Hannes Trautloft, the famous fighter ace and CO of JG 54. Kath previously flew under Trautloft with I./JG 20. He is credited with 6 kills. The standard camouflage was oversprayed with washable white paint on the upper sides for the winter along with yellow Eastern Front markings on the wings, rudder and fuselage. The nonstandard Geschwader Stab marking is green, the color reserved for aircraft flown by HQ members. The green heart was painted on JG 54 Grunherz aircraft. Designed to meet a Luftwaffe need for a single-seat fighter/interceptor, the Messerschmitt Bf 109 was first flown on May 28th, 1935. Its all-metal construction, closed canopy and retractable gear made the Bf 109 one of the first true modern fighters of WWII. This versatile aircraft served in many roles and was the most produced aircraft of the war and the backbone of the Luftwaffe, and was flown by Germany's top three aces, who claimed a total of 928 victories between them. Armed with two cannons and two machine guns, the Bf 109's design underwent constant revisions, which allowed it to remain competitive until the end of the war. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
