Re: Researching Bf109E WNr 1295

Yes. What Chris said - there is absolutely no guarantee of sequential WNr. being assigned to the same unit. In the case of WNr.1295, it never shows up in either the Gen.Qu. or Schulen losses. That could be for numerous reasons, but the most likely scenario is that it was among the machines lost in the first year of the war before the LW started regularly recording WNr. in documentation. That bit of information only started to consistently appear in loss records in late-August 1940.
