I would like to suggest the 2nd Bf 109 F-2 Adolf Galland owned and modified, as a result of his dissatisfaction of the Switch of armament from the E to F series, as he was in the opinion that the armament of the F Series was inadequate only consisting of 2x Mg 17 and 1x Mg 151/15 (F-2),
while his previous E-4 had 2x Mg 17 and 2x 20mm Mg FF/M in the wings, as such his first Bf 109 F-2 he improved (along the See through Headrest, that actually was taken up into main Bf 109 production) and replaced the 2x Mg 17 with 2x Mg 131. His 2nd Bf 109 F-2 was even stronger armed, he “simply” took the 2x 20 mm Mg FF/M from his old E-4 and mounted them in the wings of his 2nd Bf 109 F-2, which i suggest here as a special plane. Furthermore he mounted a telescopic side into the front of his cockpit.
The Picture is of the Stab JG 26 in 1941 with him and Herman Göring.
