Re: Uffz. Leander Mayer III./JG51
Actually there was such a person, but he certainly was not flying in combat with JG 51 in 1940. His first claim was as a Flg. at the end of July-1941.
Fw 190A-3, 7013, Mayer, Uffz. Leander, 12, 8., JG 51, schwarze, 9 + |, DF+BH, , 29-Jan-43, MIA after Luftkampf with Il-2s., WNr. listed as 013. Kassel factory, Ostfront, Gen.Qu.6.Abt. (mfm #8)-Vol.14; Prien, et al, Die Jagdfliegerverbände, IX.2, p.338; Ring, JG 51 loss list, p.49, , 7km nördlich Dolgoje, 100%, F, ,
And I should note because when I usually post these extracts delimited by commas from my database with no editing - 7013 is the WNr, of the machine, 12 refers to his claims, he flew with 8./JG 51, the plane was coded 'black 9 + |' which would mean a III./JG 51, 8th Staffel machine. The 'DF+BH' was the Stammkennzeichen of the machine, date, fate, comments, sources, location, percent loss & 'F', Feindflug - operational sortie.
