Robert et.al.,

For several years I've suspected that Lt. Max-Bruno Fischer was the pilot of "Black 10" with 5./JG 3 during the summer of 1940. This is based on the unusual personal insignia that appears later in 1941-2 on his aircraft with II./JG 3, that first appeared in Dr. Prien's book on II./JG 3. A part of a similar insignia seems to appear on "Black 10" (the large white disc) in some of the background photos dating to the Battle of Britain period in the Prien volumes. We need someone who can confirm that Lt. Fischer was, in fact, assigned and flew with 5./JG 3 during the summer of 1940. He scored no victories during this period and was in no recorded aircraft loss incidents, so that info will have to come from somewhere else. Who can solve this mystery? Robert, I was about to post this question and you beat me to it.

Thanks
