This is all the info. I have at this point and am trying to get a more complete picture of this pilot. Any additional information will be appreciated.

Hi Libbe,
Albrecht Licht served with II./J.G. 54 in 1944 and 1945. He flew as the wingman of
Ritterkreuzträger Lt. Hermann Schleinhege on a number of occasions. He claimed his first aerial victory on a sweep south-east of Libau in Kurland on 9 October 1944. He was injured in a take-off accident at Libau on 22 December 1944. In 1945 he flew in a Schwarm with Norbert Hannig, Kohler and Meschkat in II./J.G. 54. From memory there is a photo of this Schwarm in Norbert Hannig's book published in 2006. He survived the war and was alive a couple of years ago.
More information about him will appear in a book I'm working on about the air war over Kurland in 1944/1945.
I hope that helps.
Cheers,
Andrew A.
