Hi Mike,  just wondering where you got the information about Willi Jachmann from.  If I can find out more, then he could actually related to me!  I just need to check.  I do have a relative, a Willi Jachmann who was a WW1 fighter pilot, but before I say that this is him, thenI need to follow leads and information.  From what I have seen from photographs of Willi, I feel sure that this must be him.  But the name Willi and Jachmann are not uncommon in Germany.  And if this is the person that I am searching for, then his son was also called Willi Jachmann {junior}
