Re: Looking for 1940 info WC/FC or BoB on Oblt Graf Erbo von Kageneck of I./JG1 and III./JG27

Hello,

Chris Simmonds reminded me that we have photos of a "Yellow/Brown 5" from 9./JG27 FL in about 8.40 during the BoB. Unfortunately this does not show any victory tabs, and probably pre-dates by a short time, v. Kageneck transferring from 8 to 9 Staffel. Since this carries no victory tabs on the tail, this is probably not his a/c. We also have several photos of "Black13" during the WC/FC and later during the BoB, again with no discernible scoreboard on the tail. This gives no support for these showing Kageneck's a/c.

So we're still on the hunt.

Regards,
