Photo of Me 262s on pintrest
 

Good morning,

I just found a picture on Pintrest that I have not seen before. For what it is worth, the caption reads:

"Me 262 General Galland and in the back, Lt. Willy Roth, Staffelkapitain of 4./JG 103 [sic]."

Hello Jim,
what a great find! Indeed a new photo of JV44 Me262 "White 6" and "White 3" at Munich-Riem in April 1945. Lt Roth is listed as one of the JV44-pilots in the well known document dated 27. April 1945. The pilot´s head contour in "White 6" is not sharp enough to recognize clearly that this is Galland, but it may be possible.

Best regards, Karl

Very nice, thank you.

You're welcome, Dan.

Willi Roth seems to have been in Galland's schwarm on 3 Sep 1940 according to Nick Hector regarding Galland's 29th claim.

1. Supposedly the caption on the back of the photo which, if I read it correctly, puts Galland in "white 6".

2. Another view of "white 3".
