Re: Loss deatials - Feldebel Hans Walchhofer Afrika 1942
Hello Rick,

Fw. Johann Walchhofer los his life after he made an emergency landing in a mine field south of El Adem. One source indicates the reason for the emergency landing was air combat, the other says engine damage - ofcourse, it could be both. Fw. Walchhofer was from the 6./JG27 and flew a Bf 109F-4/trop, WNr.8465 with unknown markings.

best regards,
Tomislav
