Gunther Landt
I am looking for details of the victories of this pilot. I would especially like to know if any of these were claimed using the Bf109K-4.

Re: Gunther Landt
Hello,
there was a longer report about Landt and his K-4 in the german "Kit" Modellers Magazine. Wonder if it was late 1980ies or early 90ies. I Will ask my brother if he still has that number of "Kit". I believe Land was leading "K-4 Ace" int the West. Regards Daniel |

Re: Gunther Landt
Good morning Daniel,
the "leading K-4 Ace int the West." ? Do you mean that there is an Eastern front ace with more Bf109K kills ? Cheers, Michael |

Re: Gunther Landt
Good evening Michael,
I'm not sure about Eastern Front Air Victories. Lists may have even bigger "black outs" or missing parts. Sorry. Regards Daniel |

Re: Gunther Landt
Good morning Daniel,
yes and we often do not know exactly if a unit was flying Bf109G's or K's in 1945. Have you ever seen a good photo of Günther Landt ? Michael |

Re: Gunther Landt
Hello Michael
take a look here: https://www.flugzeugforum.de/threads...des-jg53.7313/ Jochen Priens book is in Bavaria with my brother. Maybe Jochen could tell something. I remember a Staffelfoto, and a better picture from the same occasion shown here. Regards Daniel |
