Ludwig Fiel Walter Field black7 oct40 which is correct ?
 

Hi,

I have :-
Luftwaffe Crash Archive Volume 5 28th September 1940 to 27th October p547 Me109E4 8JG53 Black7+I Uffz Ludwig Fiel on display in London
and a colour profile with red spinner, white cap, segmented white backplate, yellow engine cowlings and rudder heavy dense mottle in area of code.

Luftwaffe Gallery Photos and Profiles No1 Eric Mombeek p3 2 Oct 40 East Peckham, details camo as above. Black 7+I but this is captioned Oblt Walter Field.
Both look the same to me !

Two totally different pilots ? same looking aircraft ?

Puzzled !

It was Oblt Walter Fiel (not Field)

Hi Chris,
Thanks

How could LCA vol 5 have got rank and Christian name so wrong ?
Oblt v Uffz and Ludwig v Walter

more than just a typo !

Mombeek just added a 'd' !

Perhaps you should look again on page 546-547 in LCA Vol 5?
At least in my book (on both pages) the name of the pilot says Walter Fiel and rank (on page 546) Obltn.

Checking Mombeek's booklet, he has a printing error adding the final d in Fiel's name.

No idea from where you get Uffz Ludwig....

Cheers

Hi,
oops egg on face !
I was going by the entry in my access database, somehow I have Uffz and Ludwig, yet the previous page which I sometimes copy paste to save typing out same field entries wasn't the source,


LCA innocent !
Me guilty !
Mombeek typo error !
