Profile 00: Bf-109E JG2.3 ((+~ Mix France June 1940 01-02
Photo 01-02: After being hospitalized when he was shot down on 21 May, Dr. Erich Mix returned to III./JG2 on 19 June. Once back in France, he took the opportunity to visit the wreck of his Bf-109E-3 W.Nr 1526 where it still lay in a field near Roye. Clearly visible in these photographs are the black-outlined Gruppe symbol and the Geschwader shield with its stylized 'R' (for 'Richthofen', the Geschwader's honor title) which had been designed for the unit by Leutnant Rotkirch.

Mix remained Gruppenkommandeur of III./JG2 until 24 September 1940.

Photo 01: Fast cars or motorcycles prove an irresistible fascination to most fighter pilots. Here, Major Erich Mix, second left, and other officers of III./JG2 tryout a motorcycle and sidecar combination at Evreux-West,August/ September 1940. Note the emblem of 7./JG2 on the sidecar, presumably applied to discourage the combination being "requisitioned" by another Staffel.
