Bf 109E-1 W.Nr. 4072 Red “1”,
Hptm. Hannes Trautloft, 2./JG 77,
Juliusburg, Germany, September 1939
„Red ‘1’ was flown by veteran of the Spanish Civil War, later the ace and
Knight’s Cross recipient Hptm. Trautloft, and was an example of the old-
est camouflage scheme used on the E-1. The upper surfaces are in the
standard irregular patterns of two dark greens, RLM 70/71. The sharp
demarcation between these and the lower RLM65 was very low on the
fuselage, Upper surface colors also curled under the leading edges of
the wings to extend to the bottom surfaces. Inconsistent upper and
lower color demarcation appears on the engine cowling. The striking red
markings reveal service with 2. Staffel and the shoe emblem identifies
the planes connection to I./JG 77, which descended from IV./JG 132.
It was with this aircraft that Hptm. Trautloft commanded his Staffel during
the Polish campaign.
