Abreviations assistance Flugbuch.
 

Guy's . Girls.
I have just got a flugbuch to a flight crewman. I am struggling with the abreviations in the flight purpose column. Fiendflug is pretty easy but the rest I am stumped with. I will do some scans when I get home tonight any help gratefully received. My initial research indicates he was from KG 77. He flew in He 111 , Do17z and Ju88s. His entries end in Sept 40. I will get the scans up as soon as possible.
Best regards
Rich

Re: Abreviations assistance Flugbuch.
 

I will post the rest on this general militaria forum, it is quite small and no threat if anyone wants to pop across and look.

It appears I have exceeded my posting allowance, there is a bar at the top of the upload thing and it has gone completely red??

Flights 1-12 and 35-45 - funktelegrafie flug. Seems he was Bordfunker under training. S. al. L-BO - my bet is schulflug als luftbeobachter. He was trained to replace the observer in case the latter would become casualty in combat situation

FT-Flug is Funk-Telegrafie = wireless telegraphy (RAF abbreviation = W/T)

Re: Abreviations assistance Flugbuch.
 

Einm.Flug --- Einmotorenflug
Takt. Flug --- Taktikflug
S.a.L. --- Schießen aus der Luft (Luftschießen)
C.Bo. ---- I'd say: Zebo (Zementbomben)
qdm Anflüge --- Anflüge mit missweisender Peilung (flights with magnetic bearing)

I'm agree with this. But the entry for flight no.64 still looks like S.a.L. L.Bo. Could it be Luft-Boden [schießen]?

Re: Abreviations assistance Flugbuch.
 

I don't think so ... in my eyes it's an "problem" of handwriting ... maybe looks like an "L" but it's in my opinion an "C". In the meantime I evaluated roundabout 2000 flight logs and "Luft-Boden" was never used ... there were used "Schießen auf Bodenscheibe" or "...Schleppsack" but never the more modern term "Luft - Boden".

Re: Abreviations assistance Flugbuch.
 

It still looks like L for me. Anyway. Thank you for very interesting and enlightening reply!

Guys,

Thanks for all the help, any thoughts on how to post more pictures, is it a technical fault?
