Re: Franz Nowotny information please

I've never heard of him, but he surely wasn't Walter's brother. Walter Nowotny had two brothers: Rudolf, who later wrote Walter's biography, and Hubert, who died at Stalingrad, but not as a pilot (he was in the army, but either in the infantry, or he was a tank soldier, I'm not sure).

Re: Franz Nowotny information please

Hi Maria No he is no relation of Walter. Walter also had a cousin Karl Nowotny who flew also, I think was killed in action flying bombers.

Sadly Franz is no relation on his pilots badge award document he is gefrieter, from Austria and only know of his promotion to UFFZ. but have no other information
