Re: Who flew this Bf 109F from III./JG 77?
Hi, guys.
There are about 35 losses for the III./J.G.77 in the relevant categories from the start of Barbarossa to end of 1941.
In my opinion, the best way to go is to list these, and then take away the ones that are improbable, and get a shortlist. In my opinion, the aircraft noted as damaged (below 50%), and with the loss reasons 'Bei Landung ausgebrochen', 'Überschlag bei Landung' or the relevant 'Beim Start' reasons are the most probable ones. Will post a list of the losses of the unit that are most probable during the weekend.
I agree with the previous comments with regards to Staffel belongings, and to try to assign this aircraft to a pilot from another Staffel with the relevant number of kills is nonsense.
If this aircraft was piloted by Pilcher or Blaurock when it was damaged, it would still be the ordinary aircraft of a 8. Staffel pilot that had three claims at the time. The only real proof one can ever have is the entry from the pilot log book, (or some other refrence from the time), linking this Bf 109F with Black 2 code to a named pilot. Until then my bet is on a 8. Staffel pilot.
Regards
