Re: JG 2 and St.Kpt. Benno Eder
 

He's not in my database cept the ace list. Is it possible he was killed on the ground during a bombing raid or strafing attack? That not unusual at this point in the war.

Re: JG 2 and St.Kpt. Benno Eder
 

It's a bit amazing, Jim, but he is not listed in the GVM/schools, but in fact died on 270444 1. Jgr.West fw190a-2 wn2124, KH+MM, Ossum, Absturzt

I found it in a NVM, I think

Re: JG 2 and St.Kpt. Benno Eder
 

reviving a very old thread..

In my data base (thanks matti! ) I have the information that he was killed at 11h15 on 27 Apr 1944 when his FW190 collided at take off with another aircraft ("Beim Start ein anderes Flugzeug gerammt. Bruch 100 %.").

He was then 1./JGr. West.

A stupid death, for an experimented pilot..
