    Luftwaffe JG 1 Pilot Identification Assistance...

    Long shot here, but can anyone make a positive ID on this JG 1 Me 109 Pilot ???

    Full photo shows his black colored, early model Me 109 with a two colored "7" (possibly white / red ??) on the black fuselage.

    Heinz Bar? He doesn't seem to be wearing typical flight clothing. Best, Bill

      Hi Bill,

      Considering that this photo originated from a 1. / JG51 Photo Album - that was unfortunately ripped apart and sold piecemeal - there is a very real possibility that this is indeed Heinz Bar (there definitely is a resemblance).

      Can anyone confirm that Bar indeed flew a black colored, early model Me 109 with a white outlined (possibly) red "7" on the fuselage while he was with 1. / JG 51 ???

      I'm really looking forward to a positive ID on this Pilot and any help / leads would be most appreciated

        Initially I wasn't for the resemblance, but sail the web I have found this photo that would sustain the contrary...

        Its Heinz Bär for me too!

        Best,

          Hi!

          As this is an early Me109 he is also wearing typical flight clothing for the time early 1940 and before.
          Summer flight suit and red SWp734 full back life vest.

          Unfortunately I can't tell you something about the pilot...

          Best regards,
          Lukas

              Heinz Bar has a fairly distinctive black front hairline. That's almost all you can go on. Still a guess. Best, Bill
