Hi Andrew,
thanks for your answer and assessment.
It fascinates me that a biplane soldiered on for so long in the thickest thick of action.
It would be very intrigueing to provide Hĺkan Gustavsson's WW2 biplane aces website with a real Hs 123 ace.
In this 1976 book
https://www.amazon.de/Das-waren-deut...s%2C113&sr=8-2
Georg Brütting, a former WW2 war correspondent
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georg_Br%C3%BCtting
indicates that Druschel has scored his seven kills in a Hs 123. I wish I knew if Brütting just erroneously
believed Druschel's Staffel to have been equipped with the Hs 123 during the first days of Barbarossa or if he
knew something that we don't know, e.g. that Druschel had borrowed a Hs 123 from 10. Staffel...
I wish you a good start into the new week,
Michael
