[edit] JG26 'Abbeville Boys'

Just read an excellent book by one 'Gunther Bloemertz' (Guenther Bloemertz? in German Aces listing?) Title: 'Heaven Next Stop' Subtitle ' A Luftwaffe pilot at war' ISBN 0-7509-1328-2 first Published 1953 by William Kimber & Co Ltd. This Edition Sutton Publishing Ltd Pheonix Mill, Thrupp, Stroud, Glocestershire GL5 2BU

A very graphic German perspective, quite harrowing. Some photos of book characters.

Blomertz' book is indeed one of the better of its types; he served in JG 26 attaining 10 victories, until being shot down and severely wounded, then returned to service later in a ground duty role. Note that the events in his book are taken out of chronological context, but this does not lessen the vivid accounts in the narrative. Check out Heinz Knocke's 'I flew for the Fuhrer' too- an excellent read harryurz —Preceding unsigned comment added by Harryurz (talkcontribs) 22:21, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:JG26-Emblem.gif

Image:JG26-Emblem.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
