Re: What is the "Holy Grail" of Luftwaffe Research
 

For Me and the Sola aviation museum, the " Holy Grail " was when Dr. Jochen Prien responded on one of my post here regarding the serch for information to solve the indntity of our Me109 we are restoring. And tankfully for all the help / information we have got from this and other forums WE DID SOLWE IT after 28 yers due to his 3 pictures of 14055.
We still have som loose ends but 3 years ago we had nothing. So with all the dokuments / pictures evolving i recon some day we have all "her " history. The last ting i found was in january, that it was 2 pilots from 350 Belgian sqn claiming 1/2 Me109F each in the circus 200 over France. Fits with 14055 as a G1

I have seen a fw58 with radar, prob a school plane, this is what you are looking for ?

On a personal level, for me it would be finding my uncle's missing logbook from the BoB, and finding a good photo of his personal 109, 'Yellow 13' of 9. JG 3.

April, 45.. Berlin.
Would love to know EXACTLY what landed and took off in the TierGarten. Actual logbooks and records would be great. Photos?!

There is an excellent, long and very detailed thread on this topic over on Axis History Forum. Have you seen it?

Hi Nick,

One of my favorite subjects as well.

FWIW, I found this photograph in the book Absturz im Kinzigtal: Die Luftfahrt im hessischen Kinzigtal von 1895 bis 1950. I have no idea if the caption is correct. I could not find an airport named 'Yael" either. There are some photographs of He 111 wrecks at Royan in Avions 132.

Hello!
Your photo probably shows this He 111 during a stopover at Gael (not "Yael") airfield, ca 40km W of Rennes town.

Cordially
