Avias B534 with 1. and 2./JG 70?

[Martin V]

PS; was there 5 different Avias ?...since the 228 is listed twice.

[Rasmussen]

I changed the position of the numbers and forgot to delete the second "228" but there was an sixth B.534 with the number "7" too.

[Martin V]

Thank You for this, great info.

Interesting indeed Rasmussen

From the listed captured Avias in the book Ceskoslovenská letadla ve sluzbách
Luftwaffe, the following Avia c/n correspond to your list
120, 153, 175, 228

However the c/n 7 and 276 are not listed. Can you confirm both these numbers please from the Flugbuch in question?

Cheers
Stig

[Rasmussen]

Yes, these numbers are mentioned in this logbook. I'd guess the "7" was an "white 7" and not an W.Nr. ...

[Stig Jarlevik]

Don't be too certain about that Rasmussen

According to the book, the following low c/n (WNr) are listed as taken by Luftwaffe: 3, 6, 8, 13 etc, etc, so a c/n (WNr) 7 is quite possible

Cheers

Stig,

white "7" was WNr. 129 - it's known from a photo in a private collection.

[Stig Jarlevik]

Ah, thanks Merlin

Cheers

The foto of "white 7" is on page 14 (020) of the "Czechoslovak aircraft..." book
mentioned above
On page 22 there is a brief mention,(in the Czech text), of LKS 8 that transferred some of it's Avias to I/JG71 as of 26/07/1939.
Can anyone help with some more Avia (summer 1939) flugbuch entries, please?
For instance the flugbuch of Erwin Leykauf , around September 1939,
should contain his flights with LKS 4.
BR, Martin

In the FB Leykauf are mentioned only 7 flights with an B.534: 3 on 26.09.1939 (sign of B.534 unknown), 1 on 29.09.1939 (sign unknown) --- all in Illesheim --- and 3 on 20.10.39 (sign of B.534: "2") --- in Fürstenfeldbruck. A lot of flights with B.534 I have in JFS 4 in April - September 1940.
