Any signature experts out there?

With all the WWII enthusiasts here...anyone recognize this sig?

 

I have a collectable aviation book with a bunch of Luftwaffe signatures in it and this is the only one I cant figure out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. It is driving me nuts.

I had a look on this list here:

but I couldn't find him/her. The Signature seems to be something like "E. Macal ...", nobody I know.

The end if the autograph has some similarities to Hermann Graf's. But not the first part. His autograph is also known to have changed over the years. Have a look here http://www.ww2f.com/topic/33502-luftwaffe-fighter-aces-signed/?p=391227

 

Have a look at the last part of the autograph you posted and the last part of the 3rd example of Hermann Graf signatures...

I'd love for it to be Graf but I can't see that even being remotely close. Thanks for trying though, I appreciate the help. Interestingly, on your same page... look at the 5th picture down from the top.

 

It says it's Erich Rudorffer but it looks much closer the mystery sig... but the last name seems to clearly start with an M.

...and it may just be a ground crew member or something like that. Who knows.

 

The reason I thought it might be someone special is because it is amongst some legendary others. The 13 other signatures account for 1,822 kills total in WWII. :gun_smilie: It's pretty crazy to even try to imagine that tally.
