It was surrendered to the RAF at Flensburg and was shipped to here at Wright Field in June 1945 for testing using the serial FE-120 (FE=Foreign Evaluation) then T2-120 (T2=Office of Air Force Intelligence). In 1960 it was taken into the care of the Smithsonian/National Air Museum, Washington, DC and went on loan to the USAFM by 1975

This Bf109E of unspecified sub-type was brought down during the Battle of Britain. It was shipped to Australia to assist in air crew recruitment and raise war bonds. 0750, which was built by Erla, was transported to many places in Victoria and Tasmania, suffering vandalism and damage along the way. The aircraft was scrapped after the war. This photo was issued by the RAAF as a postcard and found its way into innumerable Australian households. Photo from: State Library of Victoria
