Luftwaffe and Allied Air Forces Discussion Forum

Hello Franck,

according to Jet&Prop 2/2000 page 8 the WNr. of the Hs 123 triangle+L was 2278.
In Luftwaffe im Focus Edition No. 7 „Reader’s Forum“ is noted:
“A total of five Hs 123s of 10.(Schl.)/LG 2 crashed while landing at Vyerdina airfield on 25 and 26 June 1941 after a heavy summer rain caused the airfield to become badly softened. They were
25 June 1941
Hs 123 WNr. 2249 triangle+H (blue) 45% damage
Hs 123 WNr. 2425 35% damage

26 June 1941
Hs 123 WNr. 0821 30% damage
Hs 123 WNr. 0965 30% damage
Hs 123 WNr. 2278 triangle+L (blue) 50% damage.

A Bf 108 used as communications aircraft by the Stab of II.(Schl.)/LG 2 also crashed on 26 June: WNr. 178 L2+LC (C red) 20% damage.“
The data correspond with the Gen.Qu. loss returns from 1 Aug 1941 items 53-57 (Hs 123) and 11 Aug 1941 item 30 (Bf 108).

Regards
Leo

Re: eBay: German intrest

Thank you Leo.
Why does Michael Balss give July instead of June ?
And why there is no source for the information provided in LWif? (I don't expect an answer from you Leo)
