Does anyone have any information for Bf 109 G, W.Nr. 10438? I thought I had this but apparently I don't. Thanks!

Max-Hellmuth Ostermann, Bf-109G-2, WNr.10438, Black 1+, shot down a Russian Curtiss P-40 fighter for his 102nd, and last, victory, but shortly after was shot down and killed in a dogfight with Soviet fighter pilots in the vicinity of Amossovo.

Hal, missed only one? Lucky guy!

09/9/1942: Bf 109 G-2; WNr.10438; 7./JG 54; Weisse 1+~; Oblt. Waldemar "Hein" Wübke, Stfkpt, (Wounded); Luftkampf mit Mig-3; Bruchlandung Fl.Pl. Mga; 15%.
15/01/1943: Bf 109G-2; WNr.10438; 7./JG 54; Blaue 1+~; Luftkampf with enemy fighter; 100%. Pilot Fw. Kurt Stöber, FSA. Pow.

Note: because of Wintertarn white numbers were painted blue on white camo, sometimes in JG 54 ...
Note: For NVM references ask the "good" guys.

Hope it helps.

Regards, Franck.

Hi, guys

Here is what I have - please note my comments with regards to the WNr in the loss of Ostermann:

Ostermann:

Stöber or Döge as per GenQu:

Wübke:

Maybe some NVM info can clear it up. Do not have them for JG 54.

Gentlemen,

Thank each of you very much for your input. We are indeed fortunate to have members who have access to such information at the click of a mouse...and are willing to share with those of us less connected.
