DR2 1% Bf109G-6 Yellow 16, Oblt. Wolfgang Ernst, 9./JG 77 Wander-Zirkus Ubben, Chilivani, Sardinia, Summer 1943
Although the Gruppenkommandeur of III./JG 77, Hauptmann Kurt "Kuddel" Ubben, won his Knight's Cross and Oak Leaves in Russia, he brought his "Wanderzirkus Ubben" - Ubben's Travelling Circus - to the Mediterranean in October 1942. This aircraft, flown by Oblt. Wolfgang Ernst, Staffelkapitaen of 9./JG 77 at Chilivani, Sardinia during the summer of 1943, is typical of III./JG 77 in that it sports the Gruppe badge and "Wander-Zirkus Ubben" wording aft of the cockpit. III./JG 77 remained in the Mediterranean/Balkans/Romania theatre until finally pulled out to defend the Reich.
Major Ubben himself was subsequently named Kommodore of JG 2 in March 1944 and was shot down and killed on 27th April 1944 while flying an FW190a-8 over Fere-en-Tardenois, France by USAAF fighters. His score stood at 110 victories of which 90 had been scored on the Russian Front.
