Re: info on victory claims on bf 110 rudders

Hi

To answer your question about a "Dutch" claim, by memory I seem to recall just a Dutch flag above the bar, but as I say units and individual pilots differ. Yet orange is associated with Nederland, not sure why it would be a triangle though.

My first thought was these are rudders from ZG 1 which had a number of aces from early on, also in Russia from start, but not sure they went to Yugoslavia?

I have the dates for Viktor Molders claims, and it is a close though not perfect match. These are:-

5th September 1939 PZL 37 ~0820 hrs Nr.1
7th September 1939 PZL 37 ~1610 hrs Nr.2
10th May 1940 unknown type Nr.3
11th May 1940 Fokker T5(Dutch) Nr.4
29th May 1940 unknown type Nr.5
5th June 1940 unknown type Nr.6
5th June 1940 unknown type Nr.7
12th June 1940 unknown type Nr.8

All were with 1./ZG 1.

As I say the earlier claims for the whole of ZG 1 are not found, but I do know a lot of the Polish claims, but cannot be 100% on the accuratecy. So I can throw a few names at you. Unlike ZG 2, ZG 1's pilots were awarded many DKiG, so a combination of Polish claims and DKiG winners is likely to give you the names you seek.

Kind Regards

Johannes
