6.12.1938 12 SB-2 (2. eskadrila) attacked La Cenia A/F. Flak shot down 1 SB-2, second SB-2 was shot down by Bf 109 which was able to take off. During bombing two Bf 109s were destroyed on ground.

Re: Oblt. Herbert Schob of ZG76.
 

Are You sure, 16.12.38 and 6.12.1938 are same?

Re: Oblt. Herbert Schob of ZG76.
 

I am sure that I made mistake :)

But only in transcription of date - my description of Air Raid reffered to December 16 1938 :) Not December 6 1938 as I wrote...

Re: Oblt. Herbert Schob of ZG76.
 

Are there any pictures of his aircraft?

You guys are a great help,

Harrison

Re: Oblt. Herbert Schob of ZG76.
 

I know only 1, Bf110 of I./ZG26 on Russia, winter 41/42, with 10 abschusse balken.

Re: Oblt. Herbert Schob of ZG76.
 

Hello Friends,

Harrison, do You know the book by Nauroth/Held about the Bf 110, "Zerstörer an allen Fronten 1939-1945" ?
(Was´nt there a translation by Schiffer ???)
Although it deals with the 110 in general more than 1/3 of the pictures come from Herbert Schob and show him ore planes from ZGs he was flying in.

Harrison,

I also used several photos from the Schob collection in my 'Zerstörer' volume 1 in the Classic softback series.
