I am not sure where this aircraft was shot down, only that it doesn't look like it made it home! The images are all I have to identify this aircraft, so I wonder if anyone has the ability to work out what aircraft it was and maybe the group and pilot (only because I know some of you can work miracles!).

I make the assumption it was in 1943 but it may be very early 1944 as Zack Taylor was only with them during that time.

So here are the pictures and I wonder if they can help to identify the aircraft and unit or even the location and date?







Thanks for any help, cheers, MP

Well the aircraft belonged to the SKG210 / ZG1 Wespengeschwader, this squadron had both Bf110 and Bf109s in service

There is a very detailed book on this squadron here which might help you identify the crew:
