[Jochen Prien]

Jörg,

no, I think Pullmann is the name of the jockey; looking at the cockpit of a Ju 88 I cannot see any connection with the luxurious Pullmann train waggons.

Best

Jochen

Thanks for all the replies. I wonder if it is just referring to the pilot as an "airplane jockey."

... in all probability you are right ...

Hi guys
Pullmann, the luxury cars and trains, are written with two l's....I see just one l.
The name Pulmann does exist, with one or two l's.
It is difficult...in the word "Jahre" I miss the r, looks like "Jahe".
I also think the meaning is what Jochen Prien said, jockey and horse.
Regards
Harold

Peilmann Groß-Deutschland auf Ju 88

Aufnahme aus dem Jahre 1944

Good evening

By my opinion, Peilmann is the best. In German, "peilen" means to head for signals and search for electronical or optical targets. (ich habe das Ziel angepeilt)

As you all know, a German night-fighter crew was led by its ground-stations close to the bomber-stream.

From a certain moment, the crew of the a/c was released from the ground-station and, if close enough, was able to shoot up single a/c reported by the ground-station by it`s own radar or (it's Peilgerät).

By joke by the guy, this could be the "Peilmann" in the Ju-88 night-fighter

best wishes

Of course, I know the correct spelling of Pullman, we know it ... but did it he too? But let's stop...

The "r" in Jahre isn't missing. He wrote an "short h" (like an "l") - have an look on the word "Aufnahme".

George Pullman was American, who founded Pullman company. The correct spelling of his surname and/or the name of the company he founded was thus Pullman (i.e. with two l's and only one n). In post No.1 I can see only one l, but two n's. So, no connection there, except in case of misspelling, which is always possible.

As I see it JohnnyB and Horst W are right.

We have the same word in Swedish (pejl/pejla) and no doubt we are looking at that guy inside the cockpit looking out the window.

Caligraphy was obviously not something promoted among Luftwaffe staff, but then again perhaps they all had a wish for the medical profession after their service life?

Cheers
