Notes of Interest:

656 - A case in point, and a source of confusion.

Interestingly, it may well be the most photographed 
Condor Legion Bf 109 of all, 656, that has contributed 
to much of the confusion. This was a long-serving aircraft,
initially flown by Gotthard Handrick (who scored 5 "kills" 
in it in Spain), then by Walter Grabman (Who scored 7 "kills")
and finally being handed over to the Spanish Patrulla Azul.
