Strange, Hamm is nowhere near Texel. I can only find 1 mission on this date (39)

THURSDAY, 4 MARCH 1943
(Eighth Air Force) VIII Bomber Command Mission 39: 71 B-17s of the 1st Bombardment Wing are dispatched against the marshalling yard at Hamm, Germany; 16 drop 40 tons of bombs on the target at 1043 hours; we claim 13 enemy aircraft destroyed, 3 probably destroyed and 4 damaged. We lose 4 B-17s and 9 others are damaged; casualties are 1 KIA, 7 WIA and 33 MIA. Another 28 B-17s hit the shipyards at Rotterdam, The Netherlands dropping 70 tons between 1020 and 1021 hours. We claim 3 enemy aircraft destroyed; we lose 1 B-17 while 15 others are damaged; casualties are 9 MIA. This is the first Eighth Air Force attack on a Ruhr industrial target. To divert the enemy, 14 B-24s of the 2d Bombardment Wing fly a diversion without a loss.

Hello gentlemen!

Isn´t the combination of the jacket from the Wehrmacht with
his Frontflugspange and Flugzeugführerabzeichen unusual for
spring 1944?

Herzliche Grüsse aus Oberschwaben,

Hello,

The photo can also be older. This was very often when no current was available. But of course the combination is interesting.

Rgds,
