Hi all and a Happy New Year-Millenium !!
I have just reread the book about the German Ace Heinrich Gontermann who had 39 confirmed Victories according to the German system.
After his pilot training at FEA Altenburg Gontermann was send to Kampfstaffel T where T stands for Tergnier. This occured probably in the beginning of August 1916.
He mentioned that the commander was Hptm B. and consisted of 6 aircrafts. They had have some hard losses and had lost 2 pilots and 2 observers within five days..
Does anyone new how and when this unit was formed ..? and who is Hptm. B ?
I have a note from a German source that it was probably operational around mid 1916..
Any hints or sugestion or additional information is welcome...
VBR
Gunnar
