Wondering about the NA connection too...

Don't have the current FlyPast, but right now I'm working on an educated guess based on a database of 109 losses I have... as someone pointed out earlier, why would an E-1 be found in NA? By the time the Luftwaffe undertook that adventure, those Emils still fitted with MG17 wing guns had been transitioned into the Erg?nzungsgruppen, and the 109F was coming online in good numbers. For the sake of argument, though, if this were a desert bird, it could only be 7./JG26 or I./JG27 as those were the only two Emil-equipped units to serve there (IIRC).
I'm still leaning heavily towards the JG53 connection, though... we shall see! :)
