Hurbertus von Bonin 3./J88 in 1938-39?
Can anyone tell me the exact number of aircraft that von Bonin claimed while in the Spanish Civil War. I found one site with 3 and another with 4.
So far I have the following: 29 Dec 1938 Rata 17 Jan 1939 Rata 06 Mar 1939 Rata Can any of these be matched to an actual loss? |

Hi Nokose,
Here is what I have, mate: 29.12.38: 3a Esc and 7a Esc of Grupo 21 definitely in action. At least one I-16 lost this date, pilot named Diaz 17.1.39: Possibly from Grupo 21 3.2.39: Possibly from Grupo 26 6.3.39: 2a Esc, Grupo 26. Sgt. Agustin Maestro Romerales I hope that helps Nick |

Thanks again Nick. The 03 Feb 1939 claim was missing off the one site that I saw. I've looked at some of his claims for 1943 and they seem "right on the money". He would make double claims and use only one time if within a few minutes and the same location but confirmable.

Hello Robert,
Does your Russian language reference note the Bf-109E matricule used by von Bonin when he served as Staffelkapitan of 3.J/88 in Spain? Regards, Ken Glass |

Hi Ken,
there are no information`s about aircraft markings. It only list all actions, kills and losses from Soviet/communist side. Regards Robert |
