Re: Oblt Wolfgang Schenck - 4 victories in 1 attack
John,
Thanks for your reply.
Just to add a little more, I think this incident happened some time between 22 June and 9 July '41. Why do I say this? From John Vasco's book, on that day Bf-110E S9+AH (W.Nr 4024) of 1./SKG210 crash-landed near Pomisewje. There were apparently no injuries hence no crew names were indicated.
However, recently a photo of the rudder of this Bf-110 appeared on eBay and I got a scan, attached here. As you can see, there were 6 victory bars, but only 4 with what appears to be a red star at the top. I'm half-venturing a guess this is Schenck's machine (Staffel and "A" aircraft also in order) and that the 1st 2 bars are his claims in the west the previous year while the next 4 are the ones over Taganrog air base.
What do you think?
