Re: Some enlarged and "tweaked" known photos of Ar 234s

Hi Chris,

Thank you for the catch. I am usually more careful to use "possibly" or "likely" when making educated guesses as to who flew which aircraft. The basic information comes from Jan Horn, KG 76 Die Chronik ..., (2019) who makes no reference to the incident in the text. On page 386 in the appendix containing the losses for III./KG 76 is this entry:

05.05/1945, 8./KG 76, -, F, Abschuss, Ar 234 B-2, 140???, F1+?S, 100, F, Lt., Neumann, Hermann-Günter, verl.

In the text, the only other Arado of 8./KG 76 that is mentioned as flying in April 1945 is "F1+BS", the personal aircraft of Fw. Anton Drewes who did not fly on 5May. I surmised it was this aircraft that Neumann was flying and was remiss in not adding "likely" which I have now done. By the way, Neumann may have been the Gruppe IA, page 316.

Thank you again,

Jim
