Douglas Pitcairn
Hello guys
5 August 1940: Hauptmann Douglas Pitcairn, Staffelkapitän of 1./JG 51, wounded in Bf 109 E "White 1" during collision on take-off with Bf 109 E-4 "White 8" (W.Nr. 6266) of Feldwebel Willi Gasthaus of 1./JG 51 at Pihen. His aircraft was 100% damaged while that of Gasthaus, who was unharmed, suffered less than 10% damage.
There are two photographs of him as well as two of the above accident in the JG 51 photo-history by Stipdonk and Meyer.
Horrido!
