Please note the wrecked German aircraft in foreground in this picture:

What model is that?

Thanks!

I'm going to have to go with the caption,that looks like the wingtip configuration of a Bf-109.But,I'm probably wrong .

The wings are Fw-190 without a doubt

I have a couple of links for you gentlemen to peruse Image:Bf109E 3Seiten neu.jpg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
FW 190 A-8 'Green 5 + ' of the Stab J.G. 1
These links show that both planes had versions with round and squared off wingtips......how do we know what this plane is??The caption does specify that it is an E version Bf-109 which did have squared off wings.

I thought it was tail (rudder) empennage that confirmed it.

The caption says bf-109

Shamus

Now that I have put the old bi-focals on I see the point you are making.I bow to your identification of said empennage....Fw-190 it is .

So it does and the wings appear to be that of a Bf-109E Emil model but sappersgt's point about the tail configuration is correct,the little horn at the top and the shape of the well for the tailwheel appear to be from an FW-190.

And so it does,one more thing I missed .

Don't use the caption for ID, folks. I guessed it was a Bf 109 when I wrote the caption, but I know I wasn't certain, that's why I came here for help =]
