[Franek Grabowski]

And where are located original colour slides from this session?
PS Jim, have you got my mail?

[Nefiakoff]

Jim,

Do You know the accurate date when Schroer flew machine coded ‘8’?
Was it in April?

Sept., twice same day. He had a dozen or more vics at time.

Thank You, Jim.

In these facts it’s almost certain Bf 109 E-7/Trop ‘black 8’ belonged to Elles (4 kill marks on the rudder).
