Re: Gefr Karl Raisinger, 3/JG 77

Thanks Jochen

I am sure that the intelligence report says it was yellow 13 (didn't some films from this time make yellow look like brown?) but I will say that the reports also say that the cowling and rudder were yellow and the photos (I have many like you) show the numerals darker than the nose and rudder.

If there were 4 victory stripes and a badge with the flags of the countries over which this aircraft had flown, this would back up Raisinger's statement that "it was not my aircraft but from an officer who was sick the day I was shot down". Wiest or Nordmann then?

Chris
