All 14 of his victories claimed over the Western front were gained flying the Me 262 jet fighter and included six four-engine bombers and 10 P-51 fighters 14 = 6 + 10 ? PMG (talk) 10:01, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

What aircraft did he fly ?

It would be good to state what piston-engined aircraft he flew. Rcbutcher (talk) 01:12, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

Notability

Does not meet WP:SOLDIER & sig RS coverage not found link, just passing mentions and / or non RS militaria literature.

No de.wiki article exists. Did not hold a significant command and topped out as Captain. Successful completion of missions (sorties flown, # of enemy aircraft shot down, etc) is not part of SOLDIER. A MilHist RfC on this topic has failed to gain consensus in May of 2017:

MilHist:RfC on the notability of flying aces.

This isn't person with 51 kills, its a person with OVER 100 kills (137, specifically) Thats like shooting down two entire Soviet regiments. There is a template linking pilots with 100+ kills, and those with 100+ kills are notable.--PlanespotterA320 (talk) 22:36, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

Please also see Talk:Franz_Schall#Unreliable_sources_tag. That a Wikipedia template exists does not indicate that all of the people listed in it meet WP:N & WP:SIGCOV. K.e.coffman (talk) 22:40, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
