Re: Nice JG2 pictures on ebay

Hi Guys,

#3 (again) Lt. Christian von Schlieffen, 7./JG 2.
#12 (again) I talked about Liesendahl Blue 1 - 10.(Jabo)./JG 2 - as example ... In fact I discovered that in July 1941 - still in 6./JG 2 - the displayed victories where quite different in particular the First and the Third. (See Mombeeck JG 2 Vol 2, page 80 (around)). After this period, Liesendahl got an accident and wasn't able to fly before the end of that same year when 10.(Jabo)/JG 2 was created...
It seems, most probably, that his three first scores were repainted more or less by memory, the accidented machine being more or less lost, on the new machines with slight modifications. I wrote machines since - at least - WNr.7629 (Blue 1) and WNr.12672 did display the same aspect. (see picture)

Whatever, this does change nothing about the present eBay picture.

#9 & 10: Egon Mayer???

Cheers, Franck.
