L. Keller, I/JG3 1940/41.
I'm a little confused. I was searching the name L. Keller in I/JG3, and found 4 recorded events:
5th September 1940. 2/JG3. Messerschmitt Bf109E (3882). Bomber escort sortie to London. Oil cooler damaged in RAF fighter over the Channel and force-landed at Calais, France, 4.30pm. Oberfw. L. Keller (FF) unhurt. Aircraft 50% damaged. 11thSeptember 1940. 1/JG3. Messerschmitt Bf109E (5276). Escort sortie to England. Collided with Oberfw. Hessel and crashed in the Channel off Dover, Kent, 5.15pm. Oblt. Lothar Keller (FF, Staffelkapitän) bailed-out and rescued unhurt. Aircraft lost. 5th October 1940. 2/JG3. Messerschmitt Bf109E (3554). Sortie to England. Damaged by RAF fighters and force-landed at St. Inglevert a/f, France, 1.00pm. Oberfw. L. Keller unhurt. Aircraft 20% damaged. 26th June 1941. Stab II/JG3. Messerschmitt Bf109F. Sortie on the Eastern front. Collided with enemy aircraft (or collided with a Fi156 observation aircraft?) and crashed west of Stejanow, Ukraine. Hpmt. Lothar Keller (FF, Gruppekommandeur) killed. Aircraft a write-off. So, were there 2 Keller's in I/JG3 during 1940? To add to the confusion, 'Luftwaffe.cz/keller.html' says the event on 5th September was Oblt. Lothar Keller. Thank you
