"Mischlinge" Jadgflieger

While reading "Hitler's Jewish Soldiers" by Rigg, it mentioned that three pilots were partly Jewish and won the Ritterkreuz. The pilots were Oblt Oskar Romm (JG-52,JG-3), Hptm Siegfried Simsch (JG-52,JG-11) and Fw Rudolf Schmidt(JG-77). The source for this identification was no less than Ob. J. Steinhoff.
Also reported as half Jewish was the female test pilot, Melitta Grafin Schenk von Stauffenberg.
Of particular interest to me is the case of Obergefreiter Horst Rippert who scored 19 victories,including nine Viermots and seven twin-engined planes, with
JGr. Sud and JGr-200. Heinz Bar cited his flying ability as first rate and told him that if they asked for his papers, he could use Hptm Bar's!Acording to IV/JG-27 (Prien),when Ernst WIlhelm Reinert was awarded the Swords, he asked that Horst Rippert be made a Fw. and awarded the Deutches Kreuz!Goering did so.

How many Mischlinge were in the Jadgwaffe? Were there any more other famous cases?
