Josef Priller's combat missions?

Hi krichter33

Almost certainly 307. Remember that he flew entirely on the Western Front and pilots in that area generally flew considerably fewer missions than their counterparts on the Eastern Front. Furthermore, he was Geschwaderkommodore of JG 26 from January 1943 which would have seriously cut down his combat flying due to the attendant responsibilities. The Luftwaffe fighter pilot with the highest number of missions that I know of was Barkhorn with 1,104.

Horrido!
