Joachim Jabs and his Bf 110's

[Artur]

Hello, I am researching Hans Joachim Jabs and his Bf 110's from the Battle of France and Britain. Are there any online sources showing his particular aircraft and his victories on each one? I am particularly interested in his M8+IP, with the "I" in yellow of course. Are there any good books about his life and wartime history in English?
Thanks,

[Tom Semenza]

Artur,

There are profiles of two of Jabs' Bf 110s in John Weal's "Messerschmitt Bf 110 Zerstörer Aces of WW2" (Osprey) M8-IP (Winter 40-41) and M8-NP (May 40), the latter featured on the cover art as well. There is no photo documentation in the book for either aircraft.

Photos of both however can be found in Nauroth & Held "Messerschmitt Bf110 Over All Fronts, 1939-1945" (Schiffer).

6/ZG 76 tended to fly ac with the individual code the first letter of their surname so Nacke flew N, Birndorfer flew B and Herget H. There are photos in my book on the Battle of Britain from the Fighter's viewpoint
