Jan, no confirmation at all that Marseille flew a Yellow 13....
H-JM's aircraft, from Kitchens and Beaman's book.
It's about as definitive as we have as of the present time.
Cheers
Steve
I may need to be corrected on this(and usually are) but I think I posted in Jan's "13" thread that Marseilles did fly a 13 and crash landed it. The book I have is by Franz Kurowski, printed 1994. I know nothing of the author or his reliability. I'll go through the book again to see if I can find it.

EDIT: I've found the book and the date coincides with aircraft number 8 on Steve's list. The author states is was numbered "Yellow 13" but no other info is given about the aircraft. Another aircraft ran out of fuel while they were heading to a new base on the same flight. If needed or wanted, I'll type out the portion of the book dealing with this incident.
Any info is always good to see if helps shed any light on the subject....
Landser-esque heroic style (Der Landser - German comic book), no sources, no footnotes, no bibliography, lots of 'invented' or if you prefer 'factional' dialogue - 'novelisation' ..no other word for it. See also his "Luftwaffe Aces" - this appeared in English under his own name, but was previously published as a series of Landser booklets under the pseudo Altmann - worthless rubbish I'm afraid !
He was a German vet (signaller) and passed away in May 2011 (IIRC) - Flechsig Verlag in Germany have produced a whole string of his final writings; they generally got really bad reviews.
