That is most likely an Ha40, not a DB601...

given the tropical location of the wrecks in these photos. Plus, that "He100" is likely the carcass of a Ki-61 as well...

There are 2 color photos of the DB 601 that Lynn thinks is an Ha 40 and one of the He 100 that he thinks is likely a Ki-61. However, if the reader goes to the others section, there is a color photo, rather dark, of a Kettenkrad, with a Bf 109, yellow 4, in the background.

Regards,

I asked Mikael Olrog for some help in identifying just where this Kettenkrad and Bf 109 were located. Mikael wrote back the following on 08 Feb. 2003:

"Hi Richard,

You've managed to locate the HA-1109-K1L on display at the Luftwaffen museum Gatow. http://www.preservedaxisaircraft.com/Luftwaffe/messerschmitt/images/HA1112gatow.jpg

It's been rebuilt into a G-2 configuration.

I wouldn't mind a Kettenkrad! They must be fun to drive.

Thanks Mikael.

Richard
