In a rare appearance on the Allied side of the struggle...the Sonder Black Hearts of JG11 prepare to launch and defend Allied airstrips on Guadalcanal Island.  Hard fought action would see the unit destroy 40 Imperial Japanese aircraft - in a successful defense of the Island airfield, in FSO - Frame 2 of 'Operation Cartwheel' - 'A Time of Aces'.

The Big Blue Blanket

III./JG11 finishing up the March operation - launches (72) B-25's in Frame 3 of FSO - 'Operation Cartwheel - A Time of Aces'.  The mission would see the Gruppe rain destruction down on the hapless Japanese Navy, shooting down a half dozen of their fighters, sinking several Capital ships and leaving assorted escorts wrecked, burning, and/or dead in the water.



A special shout out to the 56thFG and the Air Raiders for providing an excellent cover of P-38's.  The Sonder Black Hearts would return to base with only minimal losses and (3) men KIA.

It was our pleasure to give you the best support.

5./JG11 pilot - Franz Zambelli.

I wanted to post this on the anniversary of Franz's death but missed by a few days...and as luck would have it...the delay allowed the posting of this picture that you will find no where else but here:



Young Franz Zambelli climbing out of a Arado 96 two seat training aircraft.

Franz was KIA: 3/15/44, while flying Heinz Knocke's wing on a mission against American P-47's.  Shot through the chest he managed to land his Bf109 but was was dead by the time help arrived.

His great nephew is a current member of the AH JG11.  Flying as 'Zambelli'.  Next time you see him...say hello.

Another example of how this game transcends the virtual gaming experience and connects us to a time and place and to people...that should not be forgotten.

Regarding Franz Zambelli..... I have loads of documents in German including a book of poems all written by members of Franz's flight school class (kinda like a yearbook but no photos) that I would love to have translated.   If someone could assist me in this process... it would me much appreciated. 

Thanks,

Brad

Maybe Lusche would help if you asked nice being a native German speaker and all.

I'd help but Ich can nor ein bichien Deutsch spreche (sp).  College German is too many years removed but if one of the poems said toiletpaper I'd nail it along with other occasional words here and there.

Good luck.
