Gunther Landt

I am looking for details of the victories of this pilot. I would especially like to know if any of these were claimed using the Bf109K-4.

Re: Gunther Landt

Landt was wounded twice, on 23-Feb-45 and 18-Mar-45, both times flying K-4 machines.

Re: Gunther Landt

Hello,

there was a longer report about Landt and his K-4 in the german "Kit" Modellers Magazine. Wonder if it was late 1980ies or early 90ies.
I Will ask my brother if he still has that number of "Kit".
I believe Land was leading "K-4 Ace" int the West.

Regards

Daniel

Re: Gunther Landt

Good morning Daniel,

the "leading K-4 Ace int the West." ?
Do you mean that there is an Eastern front ace with more Bf109K kills ?

Cheers,

Michael

Re: Gunther Landt

Good evening Michael,

I'm not sure about Eastern Front Air Victories.
Lists may have even bigger "black outs" or missing parts.

Sorry.

Regards

Daniel

Re: Gunther Landt

Good morning Daniel,

yes and we often do not know exactly if a unit was flying Bf109G's or K's in 1945.
Have you ever seen a good photo of Günther Landt ?

Michael

Re: Gunther Landt

Hello Michael

take a look here: https://www.flugzeugforum.de/threads...des-jg53.7313/

Jochen Priens book is in Bavaria with my brother.
Maybe Jochen could tell something.

I remember a Staffelfoto, and a better picture from the same occasion shown here.

Regards

Daniel

Re: Gunther Landt

Good evening Daniel,

that's an old thread of another forum.
I cannot locate a Günther Landt photo there.
Can you ?

Have a good start into the new week,

Michael
