Luftwaffe pilot Ob Lt Adolf Buhl in Bf109, 1940, 1960s /70s copy photo | eBay

German

Aces Oblt. Stoll & Oblt. Buhl, both KiA in BoB - Luftwaffe and Allied Air Forces Discussion Forum


Adolf Buhl
Credited with 9 vics.
Probably spent all his cereer in 1(J)./LG 2.
Achieved 3 vics in French campaign – his first as an Ofw. on 18 May and 2 on 21 June as an Oblt.
Claimed 6 further vics in BoB: 2 in August and 4 in September, also became staffelkapitän of 1(J)./LG 2.
On 2 September shot down a Spitfire and saved life of a young pilot from his staffel – yet-unknown Fhr. Hans-Joachim Marseille.
All facts are pointing that Marseille didn't manage to revenge the same to his staffelkapitän – on 27 September Marseille claimed a Hurricane as his 6th kill, but Oblt. Buhl was shot down and killed. I(J)/LG 2 was attacked by 242 and 310 (Czech) Sqn. over Thames' estuary and Buhl was the only one gruppe's victim on that day.
