OK Paddy, I'll bite, I have Ernst Obermaier's book on Schlachtfliegers in front of me, and apart from surviving over 600 flights against the enemy, and flying all types of aircraft he was one of the few who converted to Me 262's and survived the war. (presume you mean the 262 flights, but I can't find any other info on him with 262's). RK 14 Oct 1942 as a Leutnant and Staffelfuehrer, 8. SG 1. DKiG 24.09.1942, last rank as Hauptmann, 45 victories and over 600 combat flights against the enemy. Looking forward to your additions. Bob
