Re: We need help in an identification of the pilot.

Have you find any other personal belongings of the pilot?

Re: We need help in an identification of the pilot.

Hi Adolf,

Do any of these locations from the Luftwaffe Loss Returns tie to the crash location of the 109 - East of Noverossijsk, Northwest of Charkow, Charkow-Bogeduchew and Bagajewskaja,

Regards

Brian Bines

Re: We need help in an identification of the pilot.

Has someone located this village Borodaevskoe in the Kursk/Kharkov region? It would be a great help if someone could pinpoint the location in reference to a bigger place or city. Than the location could be easily correlated with the LW Planquadrat system.
The pilot is probably still MIA.

Re: We need help in an identification of the pilot.

Hello all,

The engine Werknummer shown in intriguing. The vast majority of DB 605 A-1 WNrn. I have documented are either five digits, or a three-digit prefix (002, 004, 007, 011, or 019) followed by a four, five or six-digit number. In many cases, the three-digit “prefix” number appears to indicate the manufacturer. Your number, 700/044, is exciting because it doesn’t fit into any known blocks.

I note that the engine ID tag says “MERCEDES-BENZ.” Did you find a three-letter Hersteller code or manufacturer’s name anywhere on the engine?

I have also a few DB605 6-digit WNrs. without producer 3-digit prefixes. They are in the 100xxx, 201xxx, 205xxx and 210xxx range.

Re: We need help in an identification of the pilot.

Earlier village had other name, the information on it is now specified. The plane has been found on depth of 7 metres, a corner of its falling of 90 degrees. The award of the pilot on restorations, its number it will be soon known. Which I have written number, it is hand arm number, it too on restoration. As soon as I will specify the village or city name near to it, at once I will answer.

Re: We need help in an identification of the pilot.

Hi.

Have tried to make a set of search parameters for this, please tell me if I am right/wrong:

Bf 109
Pilot listed as MIA
Timespan 01.09.1943 - 31.10.1943
Luftflotte 4 or Luftflotte 6 area

Remember that for a lot of the MIA pilots there is no given location (just listed as 'Unbekannt' if you do not have the NVM

For the given period there are 19 pilots listed as missing flying a Bf 109 in the Luftflotte 4 area, and only two commanded by Luftflotte 6.


Regards,
Andreas B

Re: We need help in an identification of the pilot.

The other problem is that the German wartime spelling of place names is different to the current spellings on Google-Earth.

Re: We need help in an identification of the pilot.

Here the exact information in a falling place: Ukraine, the Dnepropetrovsk area, village Borodaevsky farm. Werknummer has not been found.
...
What JG drew duty in this zone in October-September, 1943 to what this pilot could belong?
