Description: Tail of the German Messerschmitt Me 109F-4 (W. Nr. 13376) of Oskar-Heinrich ("Heinz) Bär the Stab I./JG 77. The photo was probably taken at Comiso, Italy, in July 1942. The tail shows that the pilot has received "Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes mit Eichenlaub und Schwertern" for his 100th kill (on 16 February 1942). Bär finished the war with 220 kills. For more photos of this aircraft see [1].
