Hi,

the book Bataille Aerienne et Rupture Sur La Meuse lists two Bf109E from the I/JG2 lost around 09.00 hours in the combat with GCI/3 in the Sedan area and one lost at 19.30 hours (belly landing Forge-Philippe in Belgium) - white 7? - in combat with GCIII/10.
The III/JG2 probably lost plane of Erich Leie (EPJ) in evening combat with Blenheims.

Regards

Robert

Umm, many pilots had multiple logbooks because they flew for so many years. My guess with Leie is that what you (and I) have is from the beginning of 'new' FB. I have copies of 3 and 4 FBs from a couple of pilots in my collection.

For sure it's a second or third log, if even the english are not able to understand my britsh "humour", it 'd to be very bad, I write you a line 'off'
