I dunno if there were any flying 109s in the USA during the summer of '42 but there was at least one static airframe that made the rounds as part of war bond drives, although I'm not sure of the exact time period.
This is 'White 4', Werknummer 1190, seen being unloaded by Curtiss workmen at Buffalo, NY after arrival from Canada.

This particular 109 was flown by Unteroffizier Horst Perez of 4./JG 26 when he was shot down at East Deane near Eastbourne on 30th September, 1940. It is identified by many sources as a Bf 109E-4 and by some as a E-4/N. If this is so, then it would have to have been an updated airframe because 1190 was manufactured as an E-3.
'White 4' is currently on display at the IWM in Duxford in a diorama of sorts, depicting the aircraft after it came to grief in 1940.
