Messerschmitt Bf 109G-6/R6 Yellow 17 of the Stab./III./JG 300,Flown by Oberleutnant Gerhard Stamp, Oldenburg/Germany, Late October 1943. During the night of 23/24 August 1943, JG 300 filed their first Wild Boar claims of the war. In this spectacular 'opening night' the unit claimed to have shot down no less than sixteen four-engine bombers.This Bf 109 was flown by Oblt. Stamp, who had the Bomber Clasp artwork applied to the engine cowling. As a former bomber pilot he simply loathed the flimsy Bf 109, and as a night-fighter pilot he would have preferred to continue flying the Ju 88. Note that this was a former JG 11 machine, with markings, numerals, and a heavy camouflage overspray typical of III./JG 11.However, after being transferred to JG 300, RLM 22 black was applied to the undersides for its nocturnal Wilde Sau missions.

flown by Oblt. Kurt Gabler, 8./JG 300, Jüterbog – Waldlager Air Base, Germany, July, 1944 The personal aircraft of Oblt. Kurt Gabler flew without camouflage. This saved on weight, reduced drag, and made the aircraft more effective in the pursuit of the fast Mosquitos. The white tail and wingtips identified the leader´s aircraft since Gabler provisionally led III./JG 300 from June 20, 1944. The wide red tailband was common to JG 300 aircraft at the time. Gabler´s tally of 17 kills is depicted on the rudder. Gabler was wounded in action in late September, 1944 and flew no further combat sorties through to the end of the war. The camouflage was stripped off the aircraft to lower aerodynamic drag and help the pilot in the aforementioned pursuit of RAF Mosquitos. The wings seem to be oversprayed with one coplor, likely RLM 75. The national insignia on the lower wings surface is not confirmed by photos. The upper cowling, canopy framing and some access panels could be either camouflaged or made of a darker metal. Source Eduard Bf 109G 6 late series 1/48

Arnold Doring

Arnold Doring was born on 29 January 1918 at Heilsberg in Ostpreu?en. He joined the Luftwaffe in 1938 and served on the ground staff. He later trained as a pilot. In November 1940, Doring was posted to KG 53. Gefreiter Doring was assigned to 9./KG 53. In summer 1942, he was transferred to 8./KG55 based on the Eastern front. Over Stalingrad, Doring shot down three Russian TB-3 four-engine bombers in one night. He also destroyed six TB-3 bombers on the ground on an airfield 300km beyond the Volga. By day, Doring claimed seven Russian MiG-1 and MiG-3 fighters flying bombing sorties in He 111 twin-engine bombers. He was also very successful against ground targets, destroying 25 aircraft, 200 trucks, about 70 railway wagons and locomotives, 16 tanks, four ammunition wagons, one tank platoon, eight bridges, two ammunition dumps as well as sinking one gunboat, two tankers and two freighters amounting to 18,000 BRT. In summer 1943, Doring undertook "Wilde-Sau" missions flying single-engine fighters on night interception missions against Allied bombers. Initially he served with 2./JG300. He gained his first victory by night on 27/28 September. From March 1944, Doring served with 7./JG300. In all, Doring claimed five night and three day victories during his time with JG300. In May 1944, Doring was transferred to 7./NJG2. On 30 October, 7./NJG2 was redesignated 10./NJG3. He gained five further victories, including two victories during Operation Gisela on the night of 3/4 March 1945 over England. Although awarded the Ritterkreuz on 17 April, Doring was not to physically receive the award until long after the war.

Arnold Doring was credited 23 victories in 392 missions, including 348 as a bomber pilot. He recorded 10 of his victories by day, including seven claimed over the Eastern front and two USAAF B-17 four-engine bombers over the Western front, and 13 at night, including three victories recorded over the Eastern front.

Remarks: Shot down with wounds 21 June, 1944 over Berlin. He was able to bail but suffered many fractures, remaining in the hospital until wars end. Another source suggests that his A-8 was actually a Bf 109G-8, same serial number and call letters 'VR + YE'. 4 bombers. His first known victory, a Lancaster at Lingen on 20 February, 1944. A 2nd, a B-17 NW of Magdeburg on 20 June, 1944. Nos. 3, 4 & 5, all B-24's east of Berlin on 21 June, 1944, shortly before being shot down by a single engine fighter.

Bisher war dieser Flugzeugführer wenig bekannt. Erst als wir Post von seinem Sohn erhielten, mit der Bitte doch seine Person ebenfalls in die Runde der ehemaligen Angehörigen mit aufzunehmen, haben wir uns genauer mit seiner Person beschäftigt. OLtn. Paul-Georg Schaffrath war Staffelführer bei der 5./ JG300. Glücklicherweise endete durch einen tragischen Unfall beim FSA der Krieg für ihn bereits am 21.6.1944. Bis zum Kriegsende kehrte er nicht mehr an die Front zurück. Auf Nachfrage bei einigen ehemaligen Flugzeugführern der 5., 6., 7. und 8./ JG300 konnte sich niemand mehr richtig an seine Person erinnern. Das ist das Los der kurzen Dienstzeit, so dass man dann in Vergessenheit gerät.

Bare metal G-6 of III./JG300 flown by Oblt. Kurt Gabler Germany, July 1944 in Mosquito interceptor role http://hsfeatures.com/features04/bf109g632ir 2.htm
An operational Bf.109 in natural metal seems, well, unnatural! Yet here is one.

'Red 8' was a Bf 109G-6 flown by Oblt. Kurt Gabler, III./JG300, in July 1944. From photographs this aircraft appears to have been sanded back from its original RLM74/75/76 finish, reportedly in an effort to increase its speed for intercepting RAF Mosquitos. Traces of paint are visible on the wing root and base of the elevators, and the swastika has clearly been sanded down, leaving only a faint trace. Note that the gun troughs and various access panels appear darker than the rest of the aircraft because they are composed of darker metals (e.g., the gun troughs were iron). This same effect is seen in photographs of a sanded down Bf109G belonging to the National Air and Space Museum (NASM), adding support to the claim that "Red 8" was natural metal rather than light grey.

'Red 8' is one of many unique Luftwaffe fighters featured in the new Eagle Editions' publication, 'Jagdeschwader 300, Volume 1' by Jean-Yves Lorant and Richard Goyat, with artwork by Tom Tullis and Richard Goyat. The book, along with EagleCals decals, will make its appearance at the IPMS Nationals in Atlanta. This model of "Red 8" will be on display at the Eagle Editions table, so check it out!
