Re: Need ID of Stab I./ZG76 pilots/gunners in 1939-40

Chris,

I'm leaning to the idea that there were only five officers with the Stab of I./ZG76 at any one time during 1939-40: Gr Kdr (changed), Adj (changed), Rademacher (TO throughout), Holborn (NO throughout ?) and August Huchel (as Maj beim Stab--thanx for his first name, which I didn't have; no info on service period). There may have been no officially assigned 1a, as these five officers covered the staffing of the unit adequately. I think that these five officers probably shared four Stab a/c: AB, BB, CB and DB. Does this correspond with your thinking on this subject?

I did have Uffz Uberschär's name as BF with Rademacher, thanx to the listing you've previously sent. Since he also flew with Holborn, this reinforces the idea that they only needed four a/c and gunners to support the flying activities for five staff officers.

Regards,
