Two missions for Heinz Bär on 23 May 1940 ?
Heinz Bär flew a first mission and claimed a Hurricane.
In the afternoon Hptm Pitcairn, Oblt Joppien and Fw Schmid claimed 3 French flown Dewoitines. Cpt Joël Pape (GC 1/3) was shot down according to his account by one of 6 Bf 109. As Heinz Bär was Pitcairn's usual wingman, was he part of the formation ? More information ? Thank you Thierry

I wouldn´t say that Bär was Pitcairn´s usual wingman.
Originally I./JG 51 claimed on 23rd may the French fighters as Moranes. Concerning Bär partcipation, can´t give any comments. regards

Hi Jan,
Thanks for reply. Sorry for usual, I forgot the inverted commas and used "usual" as Bär and Pitcairn claimed a Hurricane each within 5 mn only two days before. All advice for researching a possible evidence of Bär's presence will be wellcome Thanks again Thierry
