Hi Vlad:

You kind of threw me off with the way you listed his name as if Herbert was his last name and Friebel his first. I have this as:

Bf 109G-6, WNr 163132, Ltn Herbert FRIEBEL, 58 Abschusse, 10./.JG 51, 15-May-44. Was Stkp. KIA in Luftkampf with 10 enemy fighters. Flew into the ground chasing a La-5. Had already downed a Yak-9. from Ring, JG 51 loss list, p.52; Obermaier, p.114, SE of Horodyslyce (SW of Tarnopol).

As you can see he was also an RKT.

Many thanks, John!
