Hello RolandF,

what is the source of your information?

Your question made me suspicious and I discovered a double entry. WNr 8922 is wrong; it should read 8722. Sorry!
Source is Prien JFV 12/I p.231

Both the GQM and NVM give the (wrong) WNr. 8922, which was most likely the 8122. That aircraft was ferried to Finland on 6.01.43 and became finally lost by II./JG5 on 2.05.43.

But...

The W.Nr. block is for the F-2, not the F-1.

Also, another list shows this as either and F-2 or upgraded to F-4.
