Bf109D WNr.492 "Schlachtfl. Ausb.-Geschwader" (?)

[ouidjat]

Hi Guys,

On 28 October 1942 a Bf109D WNr.492 was accidented at Bermericourt. Unit said to be "Schlachtfl. Ausb.-Geschwader".
...
What is this unit? When and where was it created?

Thanks to any comment to help me to clear this.

Regards,
Franck.

Hi Friends,

Sorry Sinisa but SG101, or Schl.G 101 if you want, wasn't created before 01/02/1943.
Thanks very much Larry at last the answer I was expecting!...
And shame on me since I have the book of Carlsen & Meyer.

Anyway, it's a good opportunity to have an interesting conversation.
I didn't lose my time with that question.

Cheers,
Franck.

Yes, Franck, I quoted the available info on the subject. However, Larry's e-mail was very clear in that respect.

Good to hear from you.

Regards,
Sinisa

No problem Sinisa, you are welcome.
In fact it does exist two versions (why? we don't know):
the one given by Georg Morisson who did quote "Schlachtfl. Ausb.-Geschwader" according his last comment concerning this accident.
And the one given by Michael Balss who did quote "Schl.G 101".
...
Indeed with the same GQM reference
This last wasn't acceptable for me since, again, it didn't exist at that time as commented above.

Cheers,
Franck.
