Bf 109 G, W.Nr. 10438

Does anyone have any information for Bf 109 G, W.Nr. 10438? I thought I had this but apparently I don't. Thanks!

Hal

Max-Hellmuth Ostermann, Bf-109G-2, WNr.10438, Black 1+, shot down a Russian Curtiss P-40 fighter for his 102nd, and last, victory, but shortly after was shot down and killed in a dogfight with Soviet fighter pilots in the vicinity of Amossovo.

Hal, missed only one? Lucky guy!

09/9/1942: Bf 109 G-2; WNr.10438; 7./JG 54; Weisse 1+~; Oblt. Waldemar "Hein" Wübke, Stfkpt, (Wounded); Luftkampf mit Mig-3; Bruchlandung Fl.Pl. Mga; 15%.
15/01/1943: Bf 109G-2; WNr.10438; 7./JG 54; Blaue 1+~; Luftkampf with enemy fighter; 100%. Pilot Fw. Kurt Stöber, FSA. Pow.

Note: because of Wintertarn white numbers were painted blue on white camo, sometimes in JG 54 ...
Note: For NVM references ask the "good" guys.

Hope it helps.

Regards, Franck.

Obviously HE is my source.

Hi, guys

Here is what I have - please note my comments with regards to the WNr in the loss of Ostermann:

Ostermann:

http://www.aviationhistory.no/ref_db...?lossid=103344

Stöber or Döge as per GenQu:

http://www.aviationhistory.no/ref_db...?lossid=103341

Wübke:

http://www.aviationhistory.no/ref_db...?lossid=103343

Maybe some NVM info can clear it up. Do not have them for JG 54.

Regards,
Andreas B

Gentlemen,

Thank each of you very much for your input. We are indeed fortunate to have members who have access to such information at the click of a mouse...and are willing to share with those of us less connected.

Hal
