Help Required II./ JG 27 North Africa 1942

[maccullagh]

Thanks Robert,

Your information is very much appreciated.

Your information throws a spanner into my works as I have information from 2 other sources that say Erich flew Yellow 9.

I have been chasing the identity of this plane for nearly 20 years and have been astounded by how close I have come but have been missing just that last vital bit of information.

For example I have not been able to find another plane with the same markings. I have looked at thousands of photos and when I think I might have something there has always been a bit of the markings obscured.

Your information adds to the intrigue of this plane and pilot and it will be interesting when we finally solve it.

In my photo I think it is yellow 9 going by the light colour of the 9 compared to the black of the country symbol but I can not determine the colour of the horizontal Gruppe bar on the fuselage. it is of a darker colour than the 9 but does not match the black.

Could you indicate where I could get a copy of the document your refer to that has the photos.

Thanks again.

Rick
