Jabo Pilots 24 March 1943

Hi everyone, I'm new here so please be gentle with me.

I am researching a tip and run raid which occured on my home town of Ashford in Kent on 24/03/43.

From what I can work out, 15 FW190s participated in the raid led by Oblt Paul Keller of JG26 (JG54). From photos which appear in the excellent book "Luftwaffe Fighter-Bombers Over Britain" by Chris Goss, Lt Leopold Wenger also took part in the raid.

Does anyone know the identities of the other 13 pilots, or could they point me in the right direction to find out?

I fear this will be a bit of a long shot due to incomplete Luftwaffe records and I apologise if this ground has been covered elsewhere on this forum.

Many thanks for any assistance.

Kindest regards,

Stuart

I am afraid that my book is, as far as I am aware, the most accurate account of this attack but as to who else took part, I cannot be certain

I thought it was a tall order, but thanks for replying Chris.
