3/JG77, 24.09.1940
3/JG77. 24th September 1940.
Messerschmitt Bf109E (5213). Crashed on landing at Marquise-West a/f, France, due to mechanical failure during operational sortie. Pilot unhurt. Aircraft a write-off. Is this the same crash: http://farm8.static.flickr.com/7176/...163d55df_z.jpg Inscription below photo reads: Messerschmitt 109E (Image Ref: A11901P) - the Me 109 of Karl Raisinger after it flipped on landing. Note the lack of markings on the fuselage ... Germany ... JG27? ... 1940 ... Marquise, France We know: Gefr. Karl Raisinger belonged to 3/JG77 (not JG27) and was captured on 25th October 1940. I/JG77 moved to Marquise-West a/f, France, on 25th August 1940. This is the only crash I can find between 25th August to 25th October at Marquise-West a/f, France, for an un-named pilot. All the facts fit, it would just be good if someone can confirm for sure. |
