Looking for 1940 info WC/FC or BoB on Oblt Graf Erbo von Kageneck of I./JG1 and III./JG27

Hello,

I'm seeing photos of the a/c, or information on his plane number during the 1940 Campaigns in France and the BoB of Oblt Graf Erbo von Kageneck of 3./JG1 and, after July 5, 1940, 8./JG27, followed by his transfer to 9./JG27 during the BoB. Kageneck ended the BoB with 13 victories, the second highest scoring "ace" in III./JG27 for the period.

We have good info on the various aircraft flown by the unit's highest scoring ace, Oblt. Ludwig Frantzisket, who flew with 7 Staffel and scored 14 victories by the end of the BoB, and I'd like to do a color profile of von Kageneck's a/c as well. I have photos of a "Black 13" of 8 Staffel that may have force-landed on the beach near Querqueville, France, about 2 mi WNW of Cherbourg, on July 19, 1940. This may have been v. Kageneck's early BoB a/c, but none of the photos of which I'm aware show a scoreboard on this a/c that would help confirm that this is indeed his 109. Does anyone have a confirmed photo of his scoreboard late in the WC/FC or anytime during the BoB? Does anyone have confirmation that "Black 13" was his plane with 8 Staffel early in the BoB, or what his plane number was after he transferred to 9 Staffel?

Is there any possibility that his FB has survived and someone has a copy that would help me answer these questions?

Who can help?

Regards,
