An authentic depiction of Adolf Galland’s Messerschmidt Bf 109E from JG 26 Schlageter, complete with the signature “Mickey Mouse” emblem, yellow nose, and camouflage detailing unique to the Battle of Britain era.
The Messerschmitt Bf 109E remains one of the most iconic fighter aircraft of the Second World War. Fighter Studios brings this legendary warbird to life with a stunning photographic composition that highlights both its engineering excellence and its historical significance.
Produced on Chromaluxe Aluminium using advanced dye sublimation, this Classic Metal Print delivers exceptional vibrancy, sharp detail, and a gallery-quality finish. The frameless, contemporary look is achieved with our specially designed float mount block, creating a 2 cm standoff from the wall and allowing for effortless display.
Historical Background, Fighter Studios – Adolf Galland, an attack pilot veteran of the Legion Condor in the Spanish Civil War, rapidly rose to General of Fighters during WWII. During the Battle of Britain, he flew and later commanded JG 26 Schlageter, based in the Pas-de-Calais area. It was during this time that he piloted the Bf 109E—arguably the most advanced fighter of the day.
The aircraft depicted here, W Nr. 5819, is a Bf 109E-4/N powered by the improved DB 601N engine. It bears Galland’s signature “Mickey Mouse” artwork beneath the cockpit and the <-+- markings of the Geschwader (Fighter Wing) Commander. Galland’s aircraft was notable for two unique modifications—one visible, the other legendary. To aid long-range identification, a rifle scope was installed alongside the gun sight, protruding through the windscreen. As a devoted cigar enthusiast, Galland was also rumoured to have had a cockpit ashtray.
The 5819’s bright yellow nose and rudder served as quick friend-or-foe identifiers during engagements, while green and gray blotched camouflage improved concealment when viewed from above. She is shown with a 66-gallon external tank, ready for another daring Channel crossing.
