Re: 9./ZG76 Bf110 pilot during BoB with 11 victories?
Rob,
Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, this a/c was photographed in the Pas-de-Calaise area of France about Aug/Sept. 1940, with 11 victory tabs registered on the fin. Whoever it was does have a 9./ZG76 code on the a/c, 2N+IP. His 4th victory has a Dutch a/c symbol above it, which probably indicates that it was shot down during the first two or three days of the WC. The fact that there are three French or British symbols above the first three victory bars indicates someone who scored victories prior to the WC, probably not even in a Bf110, but likely in a Bf109. Some of the victory bars could be attributed to a gunner. We are missing so much info about II./ZG1 - III./ZG76 victories during 1940 that is a real hinderance to getting a good fix on this guy.
More clues, but no resolution to this mystery.
Regards,
