Re: ID of LW pilot
Gentlemen, if some of you have my book, you will notice that I have put my bet on Ofw. Meindl....the manouvre that this 109 pilot pulled was not that of a beginner. That rules out Uffz. Hoffmann. Fw. Reschke was not shot down near Asch, so he isn't the one. Fw. Schwartz crash location is unknown, but likely further away from Asch and he wasn't shot down. Fw. Kraschinski was killed near Eupen. That only leaves Oblt. Engel and Ofw. Meindl. Engel wasn't that experienced on 109 either and he was likely shot down by F/O Johnson. That leaves Ofw. Meindl, and he would definetely fit in. His remains were never found.
regards,
John.
