Description

Luftwaffe "Flugbuch" flight log to Hauptmann Rudolf Klemm serving with Jagdgeschwader 54 and 26. Knight's Cross on 18. November 1944. Hauptmann Klemm was credited with 42 victories in 293 missions. He recorded 13 victories over the Western Front, including 8 four-engine bombers.

The book begins on 5. June 1941 and contains 406 registered flights. Including 151 enemy flights ("Frontflug"). In addition, numerous nice handwritten notes relating to the missions. The last entry is from 29.12.1942.

The gold plating of the swastika on the front cover is gone or has been removed. But still visible! The book has slight water stains on the first pages, but it is in good condition 2.

A nice Flugbuch of a Knight's Cross winner!
