6./JG 3 in North Africa
Hi guys,
Early April 1942, 6./JG 3 deployed to North Africa. Does anyone know a) the missing first names of the two pilots below, and b) who else was in the Staffel and transferred there at this time? Oblt. Stolte - Staffelkapitän, as I understand it. Fw. Waibl Uffz. Michael Beikiefer Uffz. Franz Schwaiger Uffz. Josef Fritz Also, Beikiefer was lost on 20.3.42 whilst on a practice JaBo sortie over the Med. I know he was flying 109F-4 "Yellow 3 + -", but does anyone know the W.Nr of this aircraft? I don't have Prien/Stemmer's work on JG 3, but apparently on the day before Beikiefer had mistakenly attacked a Ju 88 and killed a crewman onboard. Are there any details of this and what - if any - action was to follow from this incident? TIA Adam |
