Re: Barkhorn flight training location?
Hi Nef,
Franz was instructing from the late 1930s through when he was posted to JG 27 in North Africa in winter 1942 so I have no doubt that he's telling the truth.
Plus, he even had his pre-war logbook that had several entries for Barkhorn, I just can't find my photo of it hence the question about the location of the training school.
In regards to the "Schwarm of Liars" - we'll be shedding some new light on this "scandal" in Franz's biography due out next year however in short - Christopher Shores did not have access to all the British records when he wrote "Fighters Over the Desert" which resulted in a limited account of what actually happened.
Best!
Bryan
