Recently I have been given pieces to a Messerschmitt bf 109 (wnr. 781247) shot down over France (or belgium) by AA while it was strafing a troop colum my grandfather was in. Among the parts my grandfather salvaged from the wreckage was the werk number which had been torn from the aircraft. I would like to learn more about this specific aircraft and who piloted it, but all I have come up with is a confusing mess of websites in German. Any help or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
Justin Kokernak

Thank you very much for the information Mr. Beaman.
I have the stenciled number from the tail of the aircraft.
