Andy,

I have checked the references mentioned in LuftwaffeData Wiki of Luftgaustab z.b.V. 11.
The mentioned framenumbers are not correct.
Frame number 151 should be 881151 and 157 should be 881157.
But at frame number 881151 is only mentioned Luftzeugstab z.b.V.11 and that is not the same unit as Luftgaustab z.b.V.11.
While at frame numer 881157 is mentioned a Luftgaustab z.b.V but the number could be ?11. It looks like there has been a number after the V of Verwendung. And also the first 1 after the question mark could also be a misprint from a 4.
So it not obvious that is was Luftgaustab z.b.V. 11 who was mentioned here.

Jaap

[Andy Mitchell]

Thanks Jaap, I will send this on to Larry.
