BUSCH 25011 - Messerschmitt Bf 109 F4 "Captured GB"Captured aircraft of fighter pilot Oswald Fischer (see also item no. 25010). Due to relatively low British interest in the aircraft, it was not repaired until August 1943, fitted with a new engine, made airworthy again, and painted in the then-typical RAF color scheme for captured aircraft. It is noteworthy that the white 11 and the bomb symbol remained on the fuselage. Given the serial number NN644, the white 11 was incorporated into No. 1426 Flight (Enemy Aircraft), where it remained until January 31, 1945, when it was subsequently taken over by the Central Fighter Establishment. It was presumably heavily damaged there over time and subsequently scrapped. Characteristics: Manufacturer: BUSCHItem number: 25011number of pieces: 1 pieceEAN: 4001738250114Product Type: AirplanesAge recommendation: from 14 yearsWEEE No.: DE 41143719

BUSCH 25020 - Messerschm.Bf 109 G2, Museum GatowThe aircraft was originally delivered to Spain in 1943 and first used between 1953 and 1963, including in the African colonial territories. In 1968, it saw its final flight in the film "Battle of Britain." What makes the Messerschmitt with the "Yellow 4" special is its markings with a third chevron for the commander. The crest is that of II. Jagdgeschwader 27 and therefore fits its location in Berlin Gatow, where the aircraft is now located in the museum. It was restored to its current condition after being presented to the museum as a gift from Spain. Characteristics: Manufacturer: BUSCHItem number: 25020number of pieces: 1 pieceEAN: 4001738250206Product Type: AirplanesAge recommendation: from 14 yearsWEEE No.: DE 41143719

After completing officer training at the Munich War School in October 1935, he was promoted to Oberfähnrich and transferred to the Luftwaffe. In the spring of 1936, after successfully completing pilot training, he was promoted to lieutenant and a few days later was commanded by the 4th Squadron of the II. Group of the 134th Fighter Wing in Werl. From the beginning of November 1937 to the end of January 1939, Hahn (called "Assi") was a flight instructor and squadron commander of the 1st Squadron of the 1st Fighter Pilot School in Werneuchen. He was then promoted to Oberleutnant and transferred to the staff of I. Group of Jagdgeschwader 3 in Merseburg. Just eight months later, on October 11, he was transferred to Jagdgeschwader 2. Just a few months later, on December 15, he was appointed Staffelkapitän of the 4. Staffel of II. Gruppe in Zerbst. In the Western Campaign, Hans Hahn achieved his first two aerial victories on May 14, 1940. After twenty aerial victories in the Battle of Britain, he was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross on September 24, 1940, and one month later he was promoted to Hauptmann and commander of III. Gruppe in Jagdgeschwader 2. On August 14, 1941, after his 42nd aerial victory, he received the Oak Leaves to the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross. Since July 16, 1942, he was even a recipient of the German Cross in Gold. At the beginning of November 1942, "Assi" took over from Dietrich Adolf Hrabak as commander of II. Group in Jagdgeschwader 54 on the Eastern Front. At the turn of the year 1943, he was promoted to major and closed the month of January with his 100th aerial victory. On February 21, 1943, Hahn was less fortunate. He was forced to make an emergency landing in his Messerschmitt near Demjansk (south of Salutsche) due to damage to the left wing and engine failure, and was taken prisoner of war by the Soviets. After his release from captivity in December 1949, he returned to Germany and worked for the foreign department of Bayer AG in France and England. After moving to Wano Schwarzpulver GmbH in Kunigunde near Goslar, where he served as the company's director, he retired in 1977 and initially lived with his family in the south of France. On December 18, 1982, Hans Hahn died in Munich. Characteristics: Manufacturer: BUSCHItem number: 25062number of pieces: 1 pieceEAN: 4001738250626Product Type: AirplanesAge recommendation: from 14 yearsWEEE No.: DE 41143719
