4th Staffel Aufklarungsgruppe 21

[David P. Williams]

Gentlemen,

Thank you all very much so far!

Merlin: I am back to writing my biography on Martin 'Tino' Becker who operated with this unit before going on to fighter training, and then night fighting.

He was with this unit and flew approximately 27 missions. I do not have his Flugbuch for this period. Are you able to say who the aircrew member was from whose Flugbuch you have obtained these details?

This is a bit of a hole in my research material for Becker and any assistance will help to fill in the gaps.

Thank you all again,

David

David,

The flights of Becker I have seen sofar are:
P2+EM, Becker – van Rossum, 13-05-40 11.40 – 14.30
P2+BM, Becker – Uebe, 14-05-40 11.50 – 14.30
P2+MM, Becker – Homberg, 15-05-40 17.20 – 19.10
I will check May 11th and 12th, 1940 most probably in Jan. next year.

Jaap,

That's brilliant.

I appreciate your offer to check the others for May.

As I said it really helps to fill in the gaps and assist me in producing as accurate a biography as i possibly can.

Thank you again, all the best,

David

Dave,

Have photos of two of the ones reported by Jaap in the EoE Photo DB: P2+EM (shot down 20.05.40?) and P2+BM, in the event that you'd like to know this.

Regards,

Hi Larry,

Thank you for the information. I'll send you a PM once I am back from work later on this afternoon. Am very interested in the photographs, particularly as they can be linked with Martin Becker.

Thank you again.

David
