Re: Looking for information about Ar 234 pilot Hauptmann Miersch / Mierisch
Still digging and exploring possibilities:
Capt. Eric Brown stated in the article in Air Enthousiast about Hauptmann Miersch / Mierisch: "Knowing the Ar 234B as he did". This means that Brown considered Hauptmann Miersch/ Mierisch a very experienced Ar 234 pilot and if anyone could judge a pilot.....
Looking at the information mentioned about his possible postings FaGr.5 is mentioned. This unit was mostly equipped with Ju290's but in January 1945 Einsatzkommando 1./FaGR. 5 is formed at (probably) Quackenbrück equipped with Ar 234's.
As Stig mentioned Einsatzkommando 1./FaGR. 1 is formed/renamed in May 1945 from Einsatzkommando 1./FaGR. 5 and is stationed at Stavanger-Sola equipped with Ar 234's.
It seems therefore plausible that Hauptmann Miersch/Mierisch was an (operational?) Ar 234 pilot serving with Einsatzkommando 1./FaGR. 5 and transferring with this unit to Norway in May 1945 where it was renamed/reformed into Einsatzkommando 1./FaGR. 1 just before the end of the hostilities in Europe.
Still, as Larry already mentioned, the answer lies hopefully in the BA-MA.
