Re: Heinkel aircraft types and their top scorers
 

Good morning Chris,

I've written a message to Theo Boiten and found an answer to a former question that reveals that the correct spelling of Mr Bertram's given name is Günter (without h).

Good morning James,

that's interesting. Is there a chance to identify the He 115 pilots ?

Have a nice day,

Michael

13.9.42 Hurricane was shot down by machine from 1./406, not 706. There is claim in RL 5/1459, but no names given.

not really...the 'incident' was the subject of an article in Jet & Prop magazine (issue 6/97) entitled " Schwarze Witwe contra Greif " (‘Black Widow versus Griffon’) written and compiled by Michael Balss. He refers to the pilot as 'Stolle' which appears to be incorrect then, Chris ?

Michael, I posted this in 2011 ! - I'm a little disappointed that you are apparently not aware of it..:)

Good afternoon Igor,

thanks for the He 115 crew.

Good afternoon FalkeEins,

thanks for the article which I didn't know yet, indeed.
The fight is not mentioned in the OSPREY volume about the He 177 written by Robert Forsyth. But the name of the pilot is Hans-Joachim Stolte, isn't it ?
