Re: Jg 27 Bf 109s w.nr. 2623 ans 2747(?)

Lippert also made 5 claims in Spain - is it possible that these are included? Seems rather unlikely, but I raise that as a possibilty. The Bf 109E WNr. 2023 we know was Lippert's machine from some point during the BoB - we have other photos that confirm that fact.

Ultimately there weren't that many guys that had at least 18 claims at the end of the BoB, so either the score includes ground claims or, as Larry suggests, this photo is from the spring of 41 and the theater markings were more forward on the machine. JG 27 was one of units that went East with the Bf 109E.
