10.(Jabo)/JG 2 pilot
Dear All,
Can someone assist with the surname of the pilot Hans, who might have flown with 10.(Jabo)/JG 2, fallen on 3 April 1943, as per the attached photos? Buried at the soldiers cemetery at Abeville, France. Regards, Sinisa |

Don't have my book on Jabos to hand but the answer should be there-if not 10/JG 2 it will be IV/SKG 10

Re: 10.(Jabo)/JG 2 pilot
From Chris' book there was no loss of 10./JG 2 or SKG 10 on 3 April 1943.
There was one Jabo pilot killed, Uffz Fritz Ebert of 10.(J)/JG 54. His Fw 190 A-5 WNr 0835 Black 11 was shot down by AA fire off Eastbourne at 1145 hrs. |

Re: 10.(Jabo)/JG 2 pilot
Sidney,
why do you declare this pilot a Jabo-pilot? This was most probably Uffz. Hans Hieß from 6./JG26 who was killed on 3.Apr.43 and the photo shows a belly landing during his training with 2./JGr.West.

Re: 10.(Jabo)/JG 2 pilot
hello Sinisa,
Is there any unknown emblem on this Fw190 cowling? Looks like a Flamingo ... Regards, Franck. |

Hi,
Looks to be the 10.(Jabo)/J.G. 2 emblem to me, while the code style is that of J.Gr. West, so presumably a hand-me-down FW 190. Cheers, Andrew A. Air War Publications - www.airwarpublications.com |

Re: 10.(Jabo)/JG 2 pilot
I thought that Abbeville was away from 10/JG 2's more usual Caen area of operations
