Re: Oesau's victories in Spain

Hello,

From Robert Jackson's Messerschmitt Bf-109 A-D series.

Aircraft Date
I-15 15.7.1938
I-15 17.7.1938
I-16 18.7.1938
I-15 20.7.1938
SB-2 27.7.1938
I-15 15.8.1938
I-16 20.8.1938
I-16 15.10.1938
I-16 3.11.1938

116 more victories in World War II, 72 Western Front, 44 Eastern Front, total 125. Killed in action

Once that written, what's the truth? For instance it could not be both I-16 and I-15 for the sole claim on the 18/07/36. What are saying original archives?

27.7.38

15.8.38
Grupo 26. Two losses this date so likely a legitimate victory (one of these CM-201 de Eduardo Fernández Prada 3ª escuadrilla shot down in flames) and one Chato (I-15) other prob was I-16 Mex pilot Sgt. Jaime Sirio, Sirio Martin Gonzalez or Jose Sirio martin but some sources says he died in combat 22 of july: 17 I-15 y 10 I-16 fight in Viver, a great group of fiats...

Re: Oesau's victories in Spain

Many Souffan has Oesau's Legion Condor diary and has the most accurate list (well, straight from Oesau's pen, that is, so take that where ya wanna). I suggest contacting him for it.
