M. Lorant:

First let me add my praise for your excellent book (c'est formidable, mes félicitation!) I have read the book and extracted much valuable information for my own little research project.

I have a question regarding Robert Plewa. In the photo caption on page 66, you state that the 109 with 6 Soviet victory bars and 5 RAF night claim bars could have been flown by either Oblt. Robert Plewa or Fw. Horst John. Now I am aware that John claimed 6 victories with 5./JG 52 in the Spring of 1943. However I have not found any claims for Plewa with any other units. Can you provide any information on Plewa's service record prior to joining JG Herrmann?

I am looking forward to volume 2 with great anticipation.

Merci à l'avance,

Tom Semenza
