Re: Fighter pilot training in France

Bonjour,

I am studying JG 103 in France (March 1943 - March 1944).

I can say that pilot Suckrow was the student of pilot Uffz. Faber (in November-December 1943) according to the Flugbuche of this pilot

I am sorry : I can not opened your image.

Best regards

Philippe
