Background:

The first German mass produced 109 fighter was the Bf-109E that has been mistakenly referred to as the Me-109. The Bf is the designator for the Bayerische Flugzeugwerke (BFW) (Bavarian Aircraft Works) that produced the original aircraft. In 1938 Messerschmitt took over BFW but throughout WWII German handbooks and documents referred to the aircraft as the Bf-109. By the end of 1939 the Bf-109E (Emil) had replaced all other 109 variants and equipped 13 Gruppens with 40 aircraft each. The Bf-109 was the main single-engine aircraft until the Fw-190 came along.

Otto Kath was shot down on July 19, 1940 and again on July 24, 1941 and survived both times. From March 29, 1941 until February 3, 1943 Oblt. Kath was appointed Geschw.Adj./JG 54. In December 1941 Oblt. Otto Kath was assigned Bf-109-4 W. Nr. 7243 and ended the war with 6 victories. Otto Kath regularly flew as wing man for Kommodore Hannes Trauloft who is credited with 58 victories. JG 54 operated from 1939 until 1945. The unit wore the distinctive green heart emblem.
