Re: Schorsch Menke I.(J)/LG 2

Most likely he was a non-commissioned officer. Over 80% of the pilots were NCOs. As we have data for only 48,000 of the 120,000+ commissioned officers known to have served in this time period, he could easily be among the ones unknown to us.

I got inspired to look at Prien's JG 77 Band I, which deals extensively with I.(J)/LG 2 but I could not easily find any reference to your fellow, but he could well be hidden in amongst all that.

A search of the Tom Kracker database for Luftwaffe pilots yielded only a bomber pilot. Perhaps your fellow was not a pilot?

Thats all I can think of for now....
