Re: Bomber Aces with min. 500 combat missions list

Hello JimP.
Thanks again for your information.

Dochtermann was apparently in Legion Condor, KG53, KG40, KG50 and KG200. With all due respect to his grandson, I think the total for him is fantasy, but that is all there is. I would think if anything that it is total flights, not combat. But even 2000+ flights ....?

I have looked more closely at your reply now, and I hope you can find the time to clear a few things up for me.
Your reply confirmed my details for Beust, but it was silent on the pilots Baetcher, Thurner, Leupert and Hogeback, and also on crew Kahle, Glaesner, Luxenburger and Klimek. Can you confirm or add anything for these?
My data agrees with yours for zu Eisenbach and Richter, but I wasn't sure how many combat missions they flew. My sources simply list the total as missions flown. When Kaiser/Bruetting say Feindflug (ff), do you think that can be taken as Combat Missions?
According to my info, Benno Herrmannn was awarded the RK for nearly 400 combat missions in June 1942. I have seen him listed with 250 elsewhere (with 520 added as a question), but I think 250 is a typo and it should read 520. Maybe it was mis-typed long ago and the error carried over ....?
I have not seen Seib listed with 500 combat missions, only 488.

Eagerly awaiting your response
Peter
