KIA Pilot

[WJW123]

Does anybody have information regarding:

an Oberleutnant Ralf Beckers (not 100% sure about the spelling)

He was a fighter pilot who fell on 22 May 1940.

Unit, victories, ... would be welcome.

This excellent site is the place to look:

If he submitted any claims to the RLM, they will undoubtedly be listed.

Any information on fighter pilot

Ofw Zydulka (not 100% sure of spelling)

Lost over Bremen 13 October 1943, I believe.

Should I start a new post for each pilot or keep using this one?

Recommend a new post per question and I would also suggest not to 'bombard' this Forum with your requests especially if you say you have a more than a few more!

Thank you, Matti.

I have no intention to bombard. Only those pilots on which I cannot find anything myself. Having concentrated my collection on KC awardees I am fairly unknowledgeable, if that is an English term, on more obscure pilots and crews.
