Re: 9./ZG76 Bf110 pilot during BoB with 11 victories?
Larry, all,
According my database II./ZG1, although very active over the Netherlands during the first 4 days of the campaign, actually only claimed/scored dutch a/c on the early morning of May 10 over Ypenburg.
These were the slow Douglas 8A3N's of which 8 were shot down and/or 3 D21's. The complexity is that 3 II./ZG1 pilots claimed an aircraft (Uffz Lutter, Fw Kuscha (2) and Lt Tonne) but next to that three as Gruppenabschuss. So in fact it could have been almost every II./ZG1 pilot.
I'm afraid the Dutch claim therefore does not help in the identification.
Regards, Pieter
