My information is from www.luftwaffe.be, MIA JG 6. But I assume F-8 is not true. CAS plane in figther unit ? Strange

Lt. Bruno Worm was only since mid January 1945 with I./JG 6 and he had not scored any victories. He ahd been a flight instructor until the end of 1944.

This is not entirely correct! He was retrained as a fighterpilot with 1/JG 102, from 20.09.44-26.10.44, in Aalborg-Ost/DK!

At that time he did not wear the EK 1, only EK 2.

Junker,

well, I consider September 1944 late 1944...... anyway, your data is correct. After 1./JG 102 he transfered to 6./EJG 1 and then to I./JG 6.

I am convinced that Lt. Worm did not score any victories with I./JG 6 but he must have flown at least 25 combat flights as his uniform shows the Frontflugspange. Perhaps he received the EK I for these flights.

If you have any documents on Lt. Worm, I would appreciate copies.

John.

Hi John

I do have pages from his Flugbuch concerning his stay with 1/I/JG 102 in Aalborg and a photo!! Are these of any interest to you???
