"Mystery" Pilot

Recently obtained this photo showing the ground crew painting a new victory mark on a 109. Looks like the pilot is closely observing. There is a previous kill in March 1940 and again on 8 July. right now I can not find a pilot name that has kills that would match. I also tried 5 and 6 July. Looks like the last two numbers in the w.nr. are 53 or 63. Anyone have any ideas?

Chuck

Re: "Mystery" Pilot

Hi Chuck,

Seems it is Oblt. Joseph "Joschko" Fözö. WNr.1133. 4./JG51 "Weisse 1".
Don't know the date.

Regards, Franck.

If it's Fözö he got his 3rd and 4th Victory the 13th July 1940 and indeed the 2nd the 8th

Re: "Mystery" Pilot

Thanks folks. That was one of the pilots I looked at but couldn't match him to a kill in March. Any thoughts?

Re: "Mystery" Pilot

Perhaps the apparent claim in March 1940 was later disallowed?

Re: "Mystery" Pilot

Perhaps. Or my source is bad. There was a kill in April according to what I looked at.
