Lugwig Franzisket achieved his first victiories in May 1940 over the Netherlands as a member of 1./JG 1. He took part in the battle of France, and fought in North Africa with JG 27. He was awarded the Ritterkreuz (Knight´s Cross) on July 23, 1941 for 22 victories. In the summer of 1943, he became the CO of I./JG 27. His unit was tasked with the opposing of Allied raids over Germany. Among other victories, Franzisket added two B-17s downed over Schweinfurt to his score on October 14, 1943. By the end of the war, Franzisket managed to shoot down 43 enemy airplanes including four B-17s. The wide green tail band identifies aircraft flown by JG 27 as part of the Defence of the Reich. The JG 27 badge, painted on both sides of the cowling, refers to the geschwader´s combat deployment in Africa. The double chevron was painted on airplanes flown by Gruppe leaders and the white rudder is a marking of formation leaders."
