What started as a schoolboy error, has become an annoying habit!

Erwin Sy and not Cy.


Is anyone else able to offer any more information or images on this KIA RKT?

Regards Richard.

Major Erwin Sy RKT 4(K)./LG1

In continuing the research of Erwin Sy, I have found reference to an incident on 04-February-1941, flying in Junkers Ju-88 A-5 (Werk Nr: 2203) Sy was wounded with his Fliegerschützen Unteroffizier Ewald Bauer during a sortie near Malta.

I can find no mention of a Verwundetenabzeichen in Schwarz being awarded to Sy however, if anyone shed any further light on this incident, I would be interested in any details of the crew and aircraft.

Thank you in anticipation.

Regards Richard.
