Re: Fl.Ü.G 1 pilots

Hi!
According this site:
http://www.ww2.dk/air/misc/flug1.htm

Gruppe Nord was formed on 23.9.43 in Elbing with 1. - 4. Staffeln. There is known any other info about presence Fl.Ü.G. 1 Gruppe Nord on this airfield? How long stationed or about their equipment (any transport a/c for gathering a pilots?).
I suspect this Gruppe being responsible for transfering Bf's to Finland.
I found single ferry flight of Bf 109 G-6/Trop W.Nr. 411520 (Erla - Lepizg) Stammkennzeichen RW+VQ:
Anklam-Elbing: Mar 7 1944 10.15 – 11.30hrs,
Elbing-Riga: Mar 14 1944 14.05 – 15.40hrs,
Riga-Malmi: Mar 16 1944 12.15 - 13.30hrs,
Malmi-Kuorevesi: Mar 16 1944 14.40 – 15.25hrs,
In Finland a/c became MT-402 and served in 3/HLeLv34 (from 4th Apr 1944).
This a/c belonged to 411XXX series bulild on autumn(?) 1943 (I guess the built up time on basis some details showing on photo: low tail, loop antenna, cockpit canopy older type but with Gallandpanzer). If it's true I wat to ask: it is a normal situation, that delivery a/c from factory to the combat unit takes few months?

Re: Fl.Ü.G 1 pilots

Eric,

Am I correct in recalling that most of the listed Fl.Ü.G 1 pilot names are from Jim Crow's Großostheim "Kladde?" I don't have my copy handy, but they sure sound familiar.

Re: Fl.Ü.G 1 pilots

Hello Steve

Your are right , this document is really interesting and worthy for our researches , but to complete the our on the Fw 190D-9 production and deliveries , we need to know whether these log books are still existing .

You can easily imagine how the delivery flights could be interesting .

Eric

Re: Fl.Ü.G 1 pilots

I am also very interested in Fl.Ü.G 1 Ost (East) and Südost (South-East), as these units ferried Henschel Hs 129s to the Eastern Front, as well as various airplanes to Central and East European Axis air forces.

I would appreciate any info regarding these topics. I only hope I can reciprocate the information.

Re: Fl.Ü.G 1 pilots

Hello to you all,

I can only join Dénes with the hopes that someone could provide information on the Ost/Südost Gruppen of FlÜG1. Especially the possible deliveries to Croatia in 1945.

regards,
Tomislav

Re: Fl.Ü.G 1 pilots

Hello

I have weak information concerning this front . Most of the FLUG 1 fllights I know cover deliveries in late 1944 early 1945.

Re: Fl.Ü.G 1 pilots

Hello Eric,

I do not have anything to those pilots you have listed but I do have a few Soldbücher und Wehrpässe to pilots and an airgunner from at least Fl.Ü.G. 1 (Süd) if they will be of interest to your research?

/Ian
