Hi Matthew,
This is an Urban Legend! Schoer did fly ‘Schwarze 8’ only two times… Written on his flight log. Normal pilot was Fw. Franz Elles.
Else: It’s not 8./JG27 but 2./JG 27 so far.
So, I change all the texts, now, if you want, you can add a note explaining what I said above; remove the pilot’s picture and The text concerning Schoer… It’s up to you.
