Seeking ID of photo of 10-victory "ace" reportedly from JG53 on eBay
Hello,
At the EoE Project we're seeking identification of this photo which purports to show a pilot from JG53 next to the rudder of a Bf109E displaying ten victory tabs. The fresh yellow ID paint on the top of the rudder suggests Sept., 1940, and the Battle of Britain. Dr. Jochen Prien, who is the world's expert on JG53, cannot ID this photo which he has been aware of for many years. This suggests to me that it is likely not a JG53 pilot. The fact that the victory tabs are painted in white should drastically reduce the possibilities of the unit assignment of this a/c and may well provide the needed clue as to who this is. Who can help us correctly ID the person in the photo and presumably the rudder of his ac? http://www.ebay.com/itm/300829901847...847%26_rdc%3D1 Regards, Larry Hickey EoE Project Coordinator
