Re: eBay: a Stab JG27 Bf109.. with Stab emblem??
Hi, all
Can w be sure that this was the aircraft of Major Wilhelm Lessmann, Kommodore of JG 52, or is it really the aircraft of Karl-Heinz Leesmann, the Gruppenkommandeur of I./JG 52?
The loss record does not indicate that the aircraft was from Stab/JG 52 (the rule for the loss records - yes I know there are omissions and errors with regards to this- would be to enter one line for the aircraft, and one for the pilot linking them by a comment (s.lfd.Nr.X) respectively)
Are there no contemporary photos of the aircraft of these unit commanders from this period?
(not in my library at the moment, so no access to the Prien Jagdwaffe book series just now)
Regards,
Andreas B
