Re: Alfred Miksch' black 5, 13 and 20
Thanks for the help so far, guys!
Unfortunately I have no other pictures of Miksch' planes, but I also tend to say that black 5 and black 20 were different aircraft. If this is true, the situation would be as follows:
-Fw. Alfred Miksch entered 8./JG 1 in the summer of 1943 and used both black 5 and black 20. Both machines were G-6/R-6 (correct me if I'm wrong). Black 20 carried Werk Nr. 15429, and black 5 has an unknown WerkNr. When I compare the pictures, I would say that the numbers on black 5 were repainted (with white or yellow outlining), and perhaps the plane crashed while someone else was flying it. It would be interesting to find a losses list of 8./JG 1.
-After the crashlanding Miksch had on 8 october 1943, he started flying in black 13, the G-6 in which he crashed on 1.12.43.
If anyone knows more, let me know!
