KAKI3152,

This is a new name of Brazilian in Luftwaffe, at least for me.

EGON ALBRECHT is the most known here, after the article of Sergio Luis dos Santos was published on a magazine...and of course, Albrecht won the RK and was, as Gomm, a Test Pilot (at Rechlin), at some time on his career.

There was another pilot with NAGr 13 I guess....who was shot down too....but this one is new for me...and an ACE too! Will have a check down here, trying to find more...

I know one Family who did have another Fighter pilot with JG 27, but the guy was born in Germany...and the members late came to Brazil, probably after the war, so not a genuine born Brazilian.

I guess that someone in Rio de Janeiro is writing a full biography of Hauptmann Egon Albrecht....

My focus (some 120 biographies and more than 1,600 written pages) have been during the last 7 years, the Brazilians and Anglo-Brazilians (born in England or elsewhere) that sailed to enlist from Brazil (whose fathers were working here) in RAF Service (and RAAF, RCAF, SAAF)...Of those, some were DFC winners, some DFM; but only Gomm (and Clostermann it seems so) did won the DSO in RAF Service, in WW2.

Thank you for sharing that information with me...I do have the LW Database from Zeng and all, but really forgot to check for Brazilians there!!

Cheerio,
Adriano S. Baumgartner

By the way, the Biography of Gomm, like that of Captain Gordon Fox Rule, DFC, CdG* (Our Greatest Ace of WW1) is NON COMMERCIAL, I mean, I will NOT claim any penny for me...it will be probably edited privately in 2 volumes...
