Hello all,

This is some good info on Eder. I know that he took over 6./JG26 when Addie Glunz went off on a temporary duty assignment. I do have one question. Can anyone tell me if Eder flew on 25 Aug 44? II./JG26 engaged 23 P-38s of the 474th FG that day near Beauvais, France and it appears most of II./JG26 was in on it. I have not been able to confirm if Eder was on this mission leading the 6th Staffel.

I do know that Lt. Gerhard Vogt (Kap.5./JG26) and Lt. Wilhelm Hofmann (Kap.8./JG26) were on this mission, so that leads me to believe that Eder was also.

While I'm at it, can anyone confirm that Lt. Hans Prager was Staffelkapitaen of 7./JG26 as of 25 Aug 44 and if he was on this mission also? Right now I am just guessing based on the best info I have.

Thanks in advance,
