Re: Looking for information about Ar 234 pilot Hauptmann Miersch / Mierisch
Hi Larry and Stig,
As far as I know the first time Hauptmann Miersch is mentioned is in the 1978 Putnam book "The Captive Luftwaffe" by Kenneth S. West (Page 13).
In 2001 I was discussing Hauptmann Miersch with Chris Goss and he mentioned that a Hauptmann Helmut MIERSCH flew with 2/FaGR 5.
In his recollections Eric Brown refers to the German pilot as 'the Hauptmann' and according to an eyewitness report the pilot that landed at Eelde was a 'Hauptmann in full uniform'.
Based on these descriptions it is in my opinion more probable that the pilot was an active duty Luftwaffe officer.
