Re: TO II./JG 11
Thanks Gerhard, I should have realised that.
Galland's T/O (JG26) was Walter Horten an Oblt.( I believe a US 1/Lt., and an Uffz. was a Staff Sergeant); in an interview with Don Caldwell for Don's JG26 book Galland said his T/O was flying "theoretically" which I take to mean he didn't need to.
In the event in Sept. 1940--at the height of the Battle of Britain their T/Os were removed from flying duties; Horten said "I had been grounded, along with all the other T/Os", maybe they were too valuable to be lost. I wonder which other JGs did the same.
Regards
Nick
