Re: Michel Gruyelle GCII/7

Hello

This may help you

His last citation dated of Sept.1946 credits him with 5 victories.
Cdt Durieux ("Boss" of GCII/7) in his work for the approval of the victories of his pilots credits him with 6 victories + 2 prob

"His" vict.prob of 28/05/40 according "ciel de gloire",history of GCII/7, is wrong (shared with Krol,Grimaud,Planchard,Ponteins)
In reality the claim ("sur" by Durieux) is only shared between Ponteins/Planchard....confirmed by Ponteins in 1992.

Another ex.of difference in the number of victories:Eugeniusz Nowakiewicz (GCII/7):5 victories + 1 prob.(Porret/Thevenet "les as de la guerre 39/45) but only 4 vict.+ 2 prob.

The uptated Gruyelle list (according me)

22/11/39=Do-17 shared (1/4) (a)
19/01/40=Bf.109 (b)
07/04/40=Ju-52 shared (1/11) (c)
15/05/40=He-111 prob shared (1/8) (d)
25/05/40=He-111 shared (1/5)
01/06/40=He-111 shared (1/7) (e)
23/09/43=Fw.190

I miss 1 prob.

(a) 4(F)/121
(b) 2/JG54
(c) Flieg.Luft.Obdl
(d) Réel Stst KG 55
(e) Ju-88 4(F)/121 7A+PM

Regards
Michel
