Staka 3./ZG 26 (again)
Here are two photos of U8+AL most probably flown by the Staka of 3./ZG 26.
The first one depicts WNr. 3583 which crash-landed at Cap Gris-Nez on 30 August 1940; it was wrongly attributed to Ulrich Freiherr von Gravenreuth (who was not flying with ZG 26). The second shows another U8+AL taken a few weeks later (with full BoB markings). On this forum, I read that Oberleutnant Josef Graf von und zu Hoensbroech led 3./ZG 26 after the demise of Hans-Jürgen Kirchhoff (18.08.40). However, both De Zang/Stankey and John Vasco wrote that he was Staka 1./ZG 26. And I have some doubts about Hoensbroech having claimed 5 victories (look at the rudder). Any help would be most welcome. Thanks. Chris
