Hi Vinnie,

15365
30.07.1943 with III./JG 1 airfield Soesterberg, damaged in aerial combat 80%

15366
30.07.1943 with III./JG 1 airfield Soesterberg, damaged in aerial combat 80%

19611
22.06.1943 with III./JG 1 near Gouda emergency landing, out of fuel, 70% (???)
23.10.1943 with III./JG 1 Eelde, mechanical failure, 40%

think the 70% june 22nd are wrong.

regards

Thanks for the fast reply, Khorat! A damage of 70% for 19611 would be awkward indeed.
Maybe a stupid question, but did these planes belong to the 7th, 8th or 9th Staffel, or did they belong to the Stab? All sources mention only 'III./JG 1' instead of a specific Staffel or the Stab...

[Khorat]

sadly only III./JG 1 given, also no names - the pilots maybe unhurt.

I have 19611 (VA+YC) as G12 at ErgNJStff Ludwigslust 25.04.1944 (Flugbuch Prenzel).

Thank you for all the detailed information! Interesting to see that 19611 was converted into a G-12. Also, the discovery of 19614 is interesting, since III./JG 1 had 4 G-4 Messerschmitts delivered in June 1943. In this lot were at least 19614 and 19432.
