Gordon's Luftwaffe victory stick 1

Hi Dave,

Both you and Gordon seem to know quite a bit about the WWII, Luftwaffe
fighter and bomber groups. I'm very interested in researching some
pilot's licences I have. Particularly KG26.

I also have a wherpass for a mechanic who was with JG400 for most of
the project. I am very interested to know if you have any more
pictures of the Me163?

Hope to hear from you. Please contact me at so I don't
accidentally miss your post :-)

Best regards,
Lorne Bohn




Hi Lorne,


I'm probably not the world's foremost expert on the Luftwaffe, actually I'm
closer to the diametric opposite. Gordon's quite good in his little
corner, but there are other enthusiasts who water and neatly trim their own
little patches.

One of the big successes of a place like this, is that if you don't know
the answer, somebody else will probably know who to ask.

Why don't you post scans of the licences, I'm sure that most of us have
never seen anything like that before (I mean LW ones).


As to pictures of Me 163s ? This batch arose from an old stack of
magazines that I bought, read and put away in 1983, when I was young and
single and had a disposable income ;-) Every once in a while, I'll
kick over a pile of stuff in the spare room and discover something old that
I haven't seen in years.


Sometimes those discoveries are the sweetest.
