[Chris Goss]

Looked at his letters dated 1978 (!) and all he says is he was with JG 26 "no more than a couple of weeks", joined JG Richthofen in 1934 and was with JG 186 at Wangerooge temporarily. Puzzled that such a senior pilot would be Geschwader Adj but Jochen would have got that from somewhere. However, he does say Erich Kircheis was Adj prior to those dates and then to his capture on 28 Aug 40 so it doesn't make sense that Kienzle was Adj for such a short time and that he was preceded and succeeded by the same man. I should say also that his departure from 186 matches with Larry & Doug's database
