Happy Holidays to all. I know that a FB for this Luftwaffe pilot must exist, but I haven't yet located a copy. Can anyone help?

Hi Larry,

I do not know if it helps, but there was a detailed artcle about Jupp Keils career in one French magazines in some 80s? I suppose Lorant and/Or Frappe were authors. Possibly partsof his missions were mentioned there or as well they may have his FB?
regards and Merry Xmas.

Peter,

Yes, I have the article and have a good English translation from the French magazine, Air Fan. This article could only have been written with reference to "Jupp" Keil's FB, which is why I'm asking this question. I believe that Frappe was the author. Do you have his email address, and do you know if he speaks English? Unfortunately, I don't speak French.

I'm trying to locate all such articles in the various publications that relate to events during 1939-40, so if you know of any others, I'd appreciate copies or references.

Regards and Merry Christmas to you too.

Larry,

Walter Waiss (author of the KG27 unit history and owner of a large FB collection) has a "Flugbuchauszug" in his collection containing Flug 157 (1 March 1945) through Flug 168 (20 April 1945). Don't know if he has anything beyond that.

I can pass on his email address, if you want.

Regards,

Marcel

Hello Marcel,

Keil flew the Ta152 late in the war, and became the only "ace" in this a/c. This is probably that time in his career. This won't help with the EOE project period.

Thanks for trying to help.

Regards,

Larry,

I am sorry to say thta I never made contact with Frappe. But Maybe someone from the forum here can be in touch with him.

The other question regarding the 1939-40 events. I worry that I do nto have any articles regarding Germns from that period tha are unknown. but know quite few men, who knows about their Czechoslovakian opponents flying over the France in French planes :) If you need help in this way, I can point you the right direction...
