Re: Alfred Schreiber, 1st jet ace

Hi

He was born on 11th November 1923. Formally with ZG26. On 29th October 1944 he rammed a British Spitfire and baled-out of his Me262 unhurt near Nordhausen. He was killed on 26th November 1944 when he crashed his Me262 near Lechfeld flying for 9./JG 7.
I believe by memory that the first "jet ace" was Franz Schall(by memory), in fact Schreiber only had four confirmed "kills" with the jet.

Claims were:-

14th October 1943 2./ZG101 B-17 Mitbrunnwald 1634 hrs Nr.1
26th July 1944 1./Kdo.262 Mosquito u/c
2nd August 1944 1./Kdo.262 Spitfire u/c
5th September 1944 1./Kdo.262 Spitfire near Stuttgart 1441 hrs Nr.2
28th October 1944 1./Kdo.Now Spitfire 1310 hrs Nr.3
29th October 1944 P-38 Bramsche/Hopstein 1200 hrs Nr.4
29th October 1944 Spitfire near Nordheim 1540 hrs Nr.5

Schall confirmed his fifth "jet kill" on 8th November 1944 plus one unconfirmed.

Kind Regards

Johannes
