    Me109-G6/U4 recovered in Italy by the Romagna Air Finders
    Hello folks, thank to the efforts of the Romagna Air Finders (RAF) volounteers, the remains of a Jg77 Me109-G6/U4 and his pilot has been recovered from the ground near Mirandola (Italy) where he crashed on september 5, 1944, shot down by the return fire of nine 321st BG B-25s.

    With the pilot's remains, large parts of his fighter has been recovered: airframe parts, wing coolers, a complete DB605 engine and others fittings, and, most important, the ID tag of the pilot. We know his name, but are awaiting an official answer from the German Red Cross before the publication.

    Some photo has been published here:

    ciao!

    Mick

    Good news...
    Hello friends, good news, the pilot has been positively identified as the Ofb. Maximilian Volke, 6./Jg77.

    He, with Ofb. Burgstaller shot down in the same day, was the last German fighter pilot shot down in italy.
