Uffz. Karl ‘Quax’ Schnörrer in front of his Bf 109 G-2 (equipped with 20mm cannon wing pods) after the award of the EK II following his second victory in 1./JG 54 on May 12, 1942.'Quax’ was an accident-prone cartoon character popular at that time – Schnörrer wrecked a number of Messerschmitts early in his career. In late 1942, Walter Nowotny chose Schnörrer to be his Kaczmarek (or ‘wingman’). Schnörrer usually flew a 'white 9'.
