"Tulip" design on aircraft
"Tulip" design on aircraft
I have read and seen photos of Erich Hartmann's Bf 109G that has black "Tulips" on the nose of his fighter... did any other pilots adapt this to their aircraft?

First off the rank
Most of these pictures of pilots in their planes are publicity shots. Generally a pilot gets the first plane on the rank. Execpt for some bomber pilots no one gets a particular plane.
Although in practice pilots do try to use the same plane if they can.

Blackfire.......huh ?
Sorry but Graf's 109 is very well documented as well as Kamerad Alfred Grislawski's
Tony: Graf flew a couple different a/c in JG 50, a seperate a/c for chasing the Mosquito day bomber and then another fitted with either the Dodel rocket launchers or the 2cm waffen pods. One a/c had a white tail with some of his victories listed on the rudder with also a numeral one on the back of the fueslage.
see Christer Bergström's site : http://www.graf-grislawski.elknet.pl/jg50.htm.
he will be producing his excellent book on the two aces GRaf/Grislawski through friend Jerry Crandall in the near future......
