Me 262 kills - or more than Walter Schuck?
From Walter Schuck I know, he had 4 kills, four B-17 bomnbers on 10th of April 1945 near Magdeburg in one mission - within few minutes on that day - and see confirmed data of the experts.
Now I ask, if there is some other jet-pilot, who had the same or even more kills with a jet, or is it only Walter Schuck with that record? BTW, I do not ask for records of others of Luftwaffe pilots, which were already questionable at those times in the so called "Luftwaffen-Ehrenkodex". If it is so, what I presume, than Walter Schuck is the first and only one jet fighter pilot, who shot down four bombers in one jet mission snd that - worldwide. All the best Horst |

Re: Me 262 kills - or more than Walter Schuck?
For your information if interested
http://www.powells.com/cgi-bin/bibli...6-112596300x-0 Walter Schuck scored 206 victories and was awarded the Knight's Cross with Oak Leaves. In April 1942 he was sent to the bitterly cold Eismeer Front with 7./JG 5 at Petsamo, Finland. In March 1944 he shot down seven Boston bombers in a single day. On 1 August 1944 he was promoted to Staffelkapitän of 10./JG 5. He was transferred to the West to fly the Me 262 and was appointed Staffelkapitän of 3./JG 7 on 24 March 1945. He shot down eight aircraft while flying the Me 262, including four B-17s on 10 April. He was forced to bail out on the same mission. Kind regards Ross |
