Heinz Bär book - weblog of author

[Jan Bobek]

Hi Joe,

according to my humble opinion:

1) Bär as Mölders´ wingman is fiction. They have met in late 1940 personally in off-duty time, but nothing else as far as I know.

2) authority - as far as I know, he started to attract Göring´s attention in Autumn 1940. Before this period he did some non standard flights. But that is usual with young men with powerful engines.

3) picture source: please proceed via: http://www.cptfarrels.com/ and contact webmaster by e-mail.

4) Yellow number on Channel Front: answer is no - Bär flew with 1./JG 51 (white fuselage numbers).
