KG27 Flugbuch copies 1939-41
 

Hi, I'm working on a project at present researching KG27's men/ machines and operations covering 1939-41.
From research carried out so far it appears a good number of Flugbuch copies have survived from this unit, if anybody can help with these logbooks for this period I would be happy to hear from you.
Any help would be most appreciated in trying to place aircrew and aircraft in different theatres of operations.
Best rgs,
Steve.

They reside in the KG 27 Archive maintained by Walter Waiss the author of the Boelcke series mentioned above.

Thank you Norbert, I do know this but Herr Waiss to my knowledge doesn't
frequent any blogs or make himself available to answer any questions.
If anybody knows any different I would be willing to hear.

Kindest regs,
Steve.

hi,

walter waiss will give you material if you have something for him to swap. for example 500 flights in a flugbuch, which he doesn't have, and you'll get 500 back.

all the best

Hi Jim thanks for responding.
Yes I'm aware of this with Walter, however the chances of me coming across
a flugbuch he doesn't have is about as rare as finding a hen with teeth!
Thank you for your tip though.
Best regs,
Steve.
