[Larry Hickey]

Hello,

For the EoE Project we're trying to ID the full name and unit of the above Gefr Morzinek, who is known to have been flying in I./JG2 or possibly II./JG2 during the fall of 1940. Who knows his full name and Staffel?

Regards,

Jim,

Thanx. This looks like an excellent bet. Ideally, I'd like a reference to him during Oct-Nov, 1940, when he was flying out of Le Havre. He was apparently flying an a/c with an "8" (White 8+-?) during this period.

Anybody else got a reference to him closer to the fall of 1940?

17 November 1940 Uffz Willi Morzinek (4./JG2) . His logbook reports escort of Bf 110 to attack Southampton.
On 30 November, flight over Portland area.
In JG2 history vol I by Erik Mombeeck and Jean Louis Roba, Chris Goss.
Maybe more in the logbook.
