[Adolf Mebius]

Hi all,

Any information on the plane and pilot is necessary. Bf109G-6 WNr.15706...? This plane should be from JG52...

As works on a falling place will end, I will lay out all photos... Also plane details, will are exposed on sale at the European auctions.

As Mixa is a quite rare name, this might have been a relative of the infamous german bishop Walter Mixa:

... which is actually more or less a part of Zaporoshye itself (on the Dnepr river).

So now, I think, it is Adol Mebius' turn:

David,
Providing there is no clerk error and no reading error the loss does concern pilot's unit, not machine's unit.... Unless the machine was transferred.
