Franz Eckerle, JG 54 on the Western Front
Franz Eckerle was credited with four victories on the Western Front in 1940.
1) 15May40 12:00 Spitfire (while with 3./JG 76) in the "Battle of France Then and Now" it lists Hurricane (P2622) RAF 615 Sqd F.O. H.N. Fowler (POW). 2) 30Jul40 20:04 Blenheim (while with 6./JG 54) at Vlissingen. Any information if this has a matching plane with the RAF? 3) 01Aug40 16:50 Blenheim (while with 6./JG 54) 5 km vor Haamstede. Same as above. 4) 09Nov40 11:45 Spitfire (while w/ 6./JG 54) 3 km east of Deal. Could the date on this one actually be the 08Nov40? In the book "Royal Air Force Fighter Command Losses of the second world war" by Norman L. R. Franks it has no losses for the 09Nov40 but on the 08Nov40 it has Spitfire IIa (P7285) F/O M.T. Kirkwood (KIA) on the 08Nov40 off Deal. Also another thread here shows a Blenheim claimed on the 27Jun40 but that it was not confirmed.
