Re: Peter Frhr. von Malapert (7./JG 54)
Here is what information we have about the WWII Malapert:
MALAPERT-NEUFVILLE, Peter Ferdinand Freiherr von. (DOB: 11.02.22). 26.06.41 Lt., 7./JG 54. 30.06.41 Lt., 7./JG 54 MIA - Bf 109 force-landed in the area of Dünaburg - returned later. 11.09.41 POW - Bf 109 F-2 (White 1) shot down by MiG-3s in the area of Jan-Jedrow and captured - reputedly collaborated with the Soviets, writing leaflets to convince other pilots to desert. Postwar, he joined the Bundesluftwaffe, rising to Obstlt. †23.09.99. Credited with 5 victories.
As for the WWI Malapert, I can find nothing about him. I searched the WWI Aviation Website "The Aerodrome" and found nothing!
