Re: JG2 Hptm Egon MAYER aircraft ?
During July 1943 the Stab/JG 2 replaced its Fw 190A-5s with the A-6 version. The Stab had one A-6 on strength at the beginning of the month and this was most likely Mayer's mount. The Chevrons and Bars of the Stab were also replaced by green numbers when Oesau was Kommodore and Mayer replaced him on 1 July. Oesau was flying a "Green 13" edged in yellow and possibly Mayer was also flying a machine so designated. I have not seen a photo of the rudder with his 68th and 69th kills which he scored over two B-17s on the 14th of July.
Mayer was a Major on that day.
