Gommer was too low in rank and it was too early in the war for him to leave a track record behind in the documents. Your recourse is to contact BA-MA Freiburg, their replication vendor Selke, GmbH, or one of the ±12 private researchers accredited to BA-MA and order copies of his personnel records. They are sure to have them because he was both an officer and air crew. The records will give you everything you could possibly want to know about him. Your total outlay will be in the neighborhood of €30, - €60, depending on who does it.
