I’m looking for WWII Kill Board photo’s…
« on: June 02, 2009, 04:34:10 PM »
The only photo’s of actual Kill Boards are the ones that the VF-17 Jolly Rogers had.

Would any of you gents have more examples of kill boards from WWII?  Preferably USN.

Sorry, don't have any USN kill boards. If you're interested here are some interesting ones I've run across.

Theodor Weissenburger of 7./JG5, Bf 109G, really cool.


Heinz Knoke of 5./JG11, Bf 109G


Werner Moelders of JG53, Bf 109F


Guenther Specht, with Kurt Tank (pointing at the board), of II/JG11, Bf 109G

I'm partial to this one.

Sorry Motherland & Treize69, I should have been more explanatory.

Kill Boards with emphases on "Boards". 

Here is an example of what I am looking for; but it is not exactly the one I had in mind.  I know there are vast differences between the USN kill boards, I would like to see em. :)

I was thinking the same thing FTJR. Maybe planes destroyed on the ground? Sitting ducks? :)

I have a very good one from the RAF, and if you drop me an email I'll send it to you.

I would guess "decoy"?  I've seen a duck used for decoy on B-24's before where they flew missions over the North Sea to show up on enemy radar and then RTB.

More:

Another one on the Island in the background




On a Destroyer.  (OK, not A2A)




Kiwis




Part of the 4th Fighter Group's scoreboard
