Gerhard Barkhorn's force-landing a P1127 Kestrel
Hi Guys
Post war Gerhard Barkhorn force-landed a P1127 Kestrel, could anybody please tell me of the date and place of this event?
Also can anybody tell me if an alarmstart counted as a combat mission?
Seems Barkhorn was burn't-out in 1945 and flew only one mission with Jg6, and one with Jv44(1102 with Jg52), again can anybody enlighten he as to when he force-landed a Me262 in April 1945, I was beginning to think that the event never happened, but am reliably informed that he did take to wearing a large scarf at this time, and it seems it was to support his neck?!
Grateful for any help
Kind Regards
Johannes
