DKIG Pilots Photo - ID Requested
 

Hello~

My name is Eric Houtman and I am brand new to 12 O'Clock High, after several years of collecting Luftwaffe portraits, I am excited to be a member of a forum (in addition to LW Experten) which focuses entirely on the LW!

I am attaching a photo which has been in my collection for some time now and up until this time eluded my grasp for positive identification. If anyone has any information on the possible identities of these award-winning pilots, i would be most obliged, this portrait is too wonderful NOT to be identified! :D

Thanks for your time, it is much appreciated!

Hello Eric,
Nice photo. Absolutely no idea who they are. Can you make out the Frontflugspange? That would at least narrow it down a bit.
Regards,
Andy

Looks like the Oblt. on the right is wearing a transport spange. Very nice photo.

Yes and (as seen) the individual on the left-hand side has a Kreta Cuff, which must narrow it down more?

Can someone provide a translation on the sign?

Thanks so much!
