Bf-109F (18 Kills) III/JG3 Photo –not Oesau right?
http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260046036600
Bf-109F (18 Kills) III/JG3 photo is not Oesau's (127) right? Oesau was not in JG3 for his early victories –perhaps this is one of Hans ‘Assi’ Hahns (108) mounts? –then again my info suggests its not him either? |

This could be the aircraft of Oblt. Herbert Kijewski who scored his 18th kill on 26/8/41 when he was temporarily in command of III./JG 3 but may have been flown by the regular Kommandeur, Werner Andres, when the aircraft crashed on take-off as a result of a malfunction of the propeller adjustment mechanism on 28/8/41. Hptm. Andres had only five kills on that date.

If its WNr. 8240 as stated by Falcon (photo at his site as well) then this incident occurred on 7-Jul-41. Wasn't there another photo of this incident in 'Lw in Focus'?
