Re: Uffz. Fritz Hanusch, 8./JG54, 6./JG26
Hi Adriano,
In his JG 26-book Caldwell probably extrapolated Fritz Hanusch's parachute jump with the sole loss list of II./JG 26. In fact the injured pilot managed to put his plane in a field, as evidenced by this photo. An unmanned airplane can not arrive on the ground in this state. The second information delivered by this image is the solid color of the engine cowling, can be dark yellow. I examined the original photo closely, that's not engine oil. The colour artwork of this aircraft in JaPo-book and elsewhere are as false as the parachute jump hypothesis. Evidence by the photo, one more time.
