That eagle marking gives it a certain "look" that I really find appealing.

Hi Santynus, 

Here is the proof. I can't post the entire photo because it's copyrighted...

[santynus]

thank you so much Jicéhem for the photos 
I found others color profile with black hart on REVI magazine N°55, but on the book Classic Colours - Luftwaffe Colours - Jagdwaffe Vol 3 Sect 3 - War Over The Desert (North Africa June 1940-June 1942) and on other book the hart it's red...

Hi Santynus, 
 
Yes, I know. But every searcher thought the heart was red because they imagined that black and white photos were made on ortho films with which the rendering of red is black on the prints. They ignored that the German photographers had only panchro films (Agfa, Orwo). Knowing that fact, the question arose to know if the heart was really red or black. Until the day when Dr Prien discovered those color photos... showing the heart was actually black...
In some books where the heart is colored red there are two options : the book has been published before the photos were known or the author doesn't know the truth...

Cheers,

Jicéhem

Thank you Jicéhem for your explanation, now everything is clear  

I upgrade my old Bf.109E-7 flown by Feldwebel Karl Laub,t 7/JG26, Ain El Gazala, Libya

I like this one much,much...!

I am right now reading JG 26 Top Guns of the Luftwaffe by Donald Caldwell and just finished the chapter on 7 Staffel's adventures in the Mediterranean. This brings a question--does anyone here have a photo or line drawing of Joachim Muncheberg's airplane from this time?

And a second question--how in the *$&#@_*! can I type an umlaut on my silly American keyboard!? I've looked all over but can't make it appear when I type replies. I'm 94% of German ancestry and I'm embarrassed that my typing doesn't reflect it........... My German teacher and my uncles and aunts who tried to teach me the language are probably rolling in their graves now.

Keep up the great artwork and information!
Scott

Hi Scott
you can find the Joachim Muncheberg's airplan to this link, but the emblem of the 7th Staffel, is not correct,   it will be one of my future works  

http://warandgame.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/2_49.jpg

about umlaut this is the ASCII sequence

ä = ALT + 132
ü = ALT + 129
ö = ALT + 148
Ä = ALT + 142
Ü = ALT + 154
Ö = ALT + 153
ß = ALT + 225

Thank you for the images. I always find it enjoyable to see airmen and the dogs that invariably found their way into the armed forces! I believe I just read about the wreath presentation in the book.

I still wonder about the black-versus-red heart situation in the 7th Staffel. They were the Red Hearts, after all, making it easy to assume the heart on the airplane would be red also. The color photo certainly shows it in black but it confuses me nonetheless. If I ever get around to building Muncheberg's ship I will make it black.

I haven't figured out the umlaut even with your help. I suspect my computer has a problem--the keyboard operator.

Hi all  
today I made other two new Emil...  

1) Bf.109E-3 flown by Oblt. Hans Schmoller-Haldy, 3.J/88 Legion Condor, Spain spring 1939
2) Bf.109E-4 of 9./JG26, based at Caffiers. France August 1940

Cheers
