I have never heard of a Gottfried Dulias as a fighter pilot, never heard that somebody wuth that name scored 5 victories and there is i.m.h.o no record showing a loss of a Bf 109 with a pilot of that name. Does anybody has hard evidence or is this a big fake?

[edwest]

I understand your skepticism. Here's a few more words about this person.

Of course, it would be a service to determine if this man is really a former Luftwaffe pilot.

[John Manrho]

O my god, do I see a hoax here...????? I would be happy to be corrected but everything points in one way. JG 53 was never stationed near Aachen in late 1944....no record of any victories by a Lt. Dulias.

End of August/beginning of September 1944 II./JG 53 was stationed at Eindhoven. If you call the Aachen area North-West Germany Aachen is a suburb from Eindhoven or the other way around.

There are many credibly sounding details of his pilot's career... except for the I-16s he shot down over Hungary.

Anyway, I am looking forward to hearing more details about this guy, before deciding to buy his book, or not.

Does anyone have info on the loss of a Spitfire flown by a Lt Fred Browning in Aug/Sept 1944?

One would think that there would have been other I-16s shot down, any claims reported for I-16s in late 44/early 45?

[Ruy Horta]

Kind of messy thread, I hope this is the right content for the split?

[John Manrho]

Just add Kutscha's reply concerning Lt. Fred Browning to the Dulias thread and then it is fine.

[Kutscha]

John, already asked Ruy, via PM, to put it in this thread.
