WINGLEADER ARCHIVE PUBLIC DATABASE

A rare colour photo taken in Canada post-war, showing the fuselage of Messerschmitt 109E 1190 4/JG26 flown by Uffz Horst Perez and shot down at East Dean - 30 September 1940. The 109 is currently on show at the IWM Museum Duxford in England. Interestingly you can see that 'White 4' originally had a Kommodore's double chevron marking, which was then painted over with the white 4 and the 4/JG26 tiger's head motif.
