"Gelbe 2"


The picture of this aircraft can be seen in many books and shows a Bf109G-2 from
6./JG54. The pilot remains unknown though.

This aircraft wears a three-color segmented camoflage possibly the same greens as seen on Hannes Trautloft's Gustav. There's several theories about these colors and they center on whether the colors were mixed up in the field or captured Russisan colors. See the profile of Hannes Trautlofts aircraft for further info.
