Re: Erich Kuhlmann JG53
There are 809 flights entered in the logbooks, and I do not have time at the moment to transcribe them into a typed format. If you have a specific date request I will try my best to assist. For the most part the entries are basic; pilot, aircraft type, departure and arrival destinations, and time of flight. In the pre-war book there is some mention of aircraft serial numbers but this practice stops in the wartime book. The book simply states BF109E. There are several entries in the 1940 time period with additional details of fighting French or British aircraft.
There are no flights logged for Spain. He lists flight 261 on 18.10.37 and flight 262 on 15.9.38. The two entries are in different hands indicating a lapse of time. Interestingly, some of the entries appear to have been entered by Kuhlmann but most appear to be from a clerk.
