Seeking ID of 7./JG26 pilots at French AF circa Sept., 1940
Hello,
The three a/c in the background of this photo are identified as from 7./JG26 (red heart insignia on cowling), and the date is supposed to be September 1940. The pilots on alert in the foreground are probably from that unit, or certainly III./JG26. Can anyone ID any of them? In pursuing this on the Luft Research Group Board, it appears that this can't be Caffiers, France (no fixed buildings), where the unit was based during the Battle of Britain, but is perhaps in Sicily in early 1941, and that the 109s may be E-7s. In any event are any of these pilots identifiable and can the place and time be identified? http://ihra.smugmug.com/photos/i-63m...-63mtm5f-L.jpg
