Showcase: pilot's license of former oxygen mask owner

Hi there!
Only a small (I am currently abroad!) but interesting update today : the pilot's license of the former owner of the 6701 fighter oxygen mask presented in yesterday's "showcase" post. As you can see he was with JG104 at the end of the war. He claimed that they started converting to the Heinkel He 162 Volksjaeger but I couldn't find any proof for that. If you know anything about jG104 and conversion training with the He 162 please let us know by using the "Shoutbox" (=Miniforum) on the right. You can also contact me directly of course. There will be more showcase items soon (Me 109 aircraft parts, HM51 oxygen mask, etc.) and a big photo update tomorrow. Stay tuned.
Your LWCollector!
