I/(J) LG 2 pilots inquiry.
 

Hi,
Who knows where I could find a list of names for the pilots from I/ (Jagd)LG 2 in may 1940? I've found the name of the Gruppekommandeur but no names for 1, 2 and 3 staffel's pilots.
Thanks,

Luftwaffe in Focus #3 or 4 has a letter from Prien with lists for 2 of the squadrons, including aircraft.

Really? I'm going to see that! Thank you Jim! :)

Jim

Can you be more precise please? I cannot find this in either vol 3 or 4:o

Cheers

Hallo Parabellum,

Jochen PRIEN's exellent written book 'Geschichte des Jagdgeschwader 77 - Teil 1' gives a good account of the action during may/june 1940, gruppenkommandeur, staffelkapitäne at the start of the Blitzkrieg in the west. In 'Teil 4' you will find a list with the victories, losses and Kommandeure en Kapitäne. Greetz,

Thanks Robert! :)
It's of interest, although the "flugzeugführer" 's names are not entirely readable for me, on the list.:(
Regarding the 1st staffel, I'm wondering if there is any chance to find such an aircraft list? May be with help of Dr.Prien? :)
Regards,

Thanks a lot Dirk! :)
Unfortunately, I'm not owner of JG 77 "teil 1"... but I do have "teil 4".
I'll look more attentively at it!

Search on the web under ''Aces of the Luftwaffe - Friedrich Geisshardt'' and the do the same for Erwin Straznicky I think they served in the I/(J)LG 2. Sorry if this proves to be no use to you,

Sorry, I thought those lists were in a later issue of Lw in Focus. Stratznicky is in that list. Geisshardt was in 1.St. I have him in 'white 10' WNr. 0958 in the May-July 1940 time frame.

Re: I/(J) LG 2 pilots inquiry.
 

Thanks for the useful indications, Brian! :)
No matter, Jim! Thank you for help! :)
I'm now looking after names of comrades from 1st staffel too. ;)
Cheers,

Parabellum, you could also add to your list of 1 staffel a/c and aircrew,
