KG 51 Me 262 Kills
There is an article in FlyPast, August 2003, entitled "From Heinkel to 'Storm Bird'" regarding the career of bomber pilot Hubert Lange, I./KG 51. According to the author, Hartmut Feldmann, Lange scored the following kills:
When Lange was employed by Messerschmitt, he intercepted a P-38 at end of 1944 which broke apart in mid-air. On Jan. 29, 1945 he attacked and shot down P-47 over Alsace. On Feb. 2, 1945 he shot down an already-damaged B-24 south of Rheine. On Feb. 21 he shot down P-47 near Emmerich. On March 13 he attacked four P-47s over railroad tracks between Dorsten and Rheine, downing one and hitting another. The article states he downed five Allied aircraft. I cannot find his name in the history of KG 51 by Wolfgang Dierich, nor in any published literature on the Me 262 to corroborate these claims.
