Re: Lt Franz Weiss JG5
Thank you very much for your help (especially for the 12/01/45)
Indeed there has been a Franz Weiss in the JG26,an Uffz shot down and wounded on 22/2/45 by Tempest,but given his rank,I don't think he has anything in commun with "my" Franz Weiss of III/JG5.
It's hard to imagine that an "ace" with 31 victories,according to Girbing,is totally unknown : if only for one or two victories.
The book of Girbing is no longer current (1976 ):for example,no mention of the 5 Mosquitos shot down on 15/01/45;a difficult event not to cite (I am interested in any claims,I recorded the losses but not the opponents):9/JG5 ?
