Erla Luftschutz Staffel

[Marc-André Haldimann]

Hallo Johannes,

Thanks very much for your detailed informations regarding Otfried Baisch and, on the other hand the Industrie Staffel Erla; they are very helpful, as for JG 25.

My issue now is to identify clearly the plane and pilot depicted on the photograph found ant asiabiz.com. Unfortunately, their sources are never quoted and I'm thus unable to cross check the reference (s). the fact this machine carries a letter instead of a number as tactical marking surprises me for a fighter unit.

MY questions are now narrowed to those two:

- Which fighter unit did carry tactical letters?
- Is it possible to confirm the pilot's identity?

thanks again
Marc
