Hi Chris,

if this is a pilot he could be Obfw.Karl Kuehdorf.

Thanks Robert but he definately is a Feldwebel on the picture and Kühdorf was alreay an Ofw when the unit went to Sicily.

Hi Chris,

OK, my mistake I only know one candidate:
- Fw.Karl-Heinz Ehlen - could be (there is a good photo of him in Les Pertes de la Chasse....Vol III)
I`m sure that this photo was taken in Gela just after the unit arrived there (In Jochen Prien`s "JFV Teil 5" you can find another photo showing this man on wing).

Regards

Robert

I came to the same conclusion but wanted to have some kind of confirmation.
Thanks a lot Robert.
