Leutnant Horst Walbeck, JG 2 and JG 77

[Stormfighter]

I recently acquired two Flugbücher (Flight Logs) of Leutnant Horst Walbeck, who I believe flew with the 3./J.G. 2 and the I./J.G. 77. From what I have learned, he was killed on 8 May 1943 in Tunisia. I am wondering if anyone has a photo or photos of Walbeck. If so, please post them here or send them to my e-mail address - Feldpost@aol.com

Thanks!

Hi Barry

Sorry, but I have no photo, but I can confirm he flew for 3./JG 2 where he made three claims:-

24th July 1941 Wellington 20km NW of Pabu 1500 hrs 3000 metres altitude
8th December 1941 Manchester 1403 hrs
13th December 1941 Hampden 1746 hrs

Born on 29th January 1922 he was killed flying for I./JG 77 on 8th May 1943 whilst belly-landing his Bf109 at Soliman.

Regards
