11 Aug 40 was a very busy day for JG 2 claiming 23 RAF fighters between 1125 & 1155 hrs. The best account is in the book 'Dans Le Ciel De France' Vol 1 by Mombeek & Roba (with a little bit of help from me). The book contains diary accounts from 2 pilots (no combat reports) plus a photo of Ettling and his Bf 109. Suggest you send Erik a PM

An interesting pilot. Claimed a I-16 with 2./JG88 on 13th March 1938. Awarded the Spanienkreuz mit Schwerten. Seems to have been a Staffelkapitan of 1./ZG2 before becoming the Staffelkapitan of 7./JG2 in May 1940. Also claimed a Curtiss on 21st May 1940 West of Compiegne at 1920 hrs, and a Spitfire over Ashford at 1410 hrs on 6th September 1940, as well as the Spitfire already mentioned at 1153 hrs on 11th August 1940.
Don't know his fate, but believe that he did not survive the war. Regards Johannes |
