Photo of Me 262s on pintrest
Good morning,
I just found a picture on Pintrest that I have not seen before. For what it is worth, the caption reads: "Me 262 General Galland and in the back, Lt. Willy Roth, Staffelkapitain of 4./JG 103 [sic]." Jim http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/album....&pictureid=571 |

Re: Photo of Me 262s on pintrest
Hello Jim,
what a great find! Indeed a new photo of JV44 Me262 "White 6" and "White 3" at Munich-Riem in April 1945. Lt Roth is listed as one of the JV44-pilots in the well known document dated 27. April 1945. The pilot´s head contour in "White 6" is not sharp enough to recognize clearly that this is Galland, but it may be possible. Best regards, Karl |

You're welcome, Dan.
Willi Roth seems to have been in Galland's schwarm on 3 Sep 1940 according to Nick Hector regarding Galland's 29th claim. Last edited by Karoband; 14th November 2018 at 02:15. |

From the Czech modelling site in Jon Olsen's post no. 1 in this thread:
http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/showthread.php?t=51951 1. Supposedly the caption on the back of the photo which, if I read it correctly, puts Galland in "white 6". http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/album....&pictureid=617 2. Another view of "white 3". http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/album....&pictureid=618 |
