Really funny...

Never checked THAT book, just the JG 1 histories. Anyone knows any history of WNr 5712, and why it figured in this accident report and suddenly got switched with 8254??

Cheers
Stig

5712

Is also a valid number one time is a F1 with III JG3 in sept 41 written off, but also a F4 with Erggr. JG2 in oct 41

5709 F2
5710 F1
5711 F1
5713 F2 + F1
5714 F1
5715 F1

Hello Stig,

Here's what I have about WNr.5712 - Bf109 F-1 ND+IA

03.07.41 1./JG3 N.N., Bedienungsfehler - Bruchlandung, Fl.Pl. Luzk - 45% (F-2)
15.09.41 III./JG3 N.N., Rollschaden, Fl.Pl. Beresowka - 60% (F-2)
05.10.41 2.Erg./JG2 N.N., bei Landung ausgebrochen, Fl.Pl. Cazeaux - 30%

As you see, this plane was also involved into an accident on the same day as WNr.8254, so I guess it was just a simple mixup.

Best regards,
Tomislav
