Thank you Brian. Most valuable information and internet sites.
My BV 138 list has been adjusted accordingly.

Good information Brian....see also my thread on Allied and Soviet forum for 5 November 2016...

It was Seaplanes post no 10 that led towards looking into the Naval and FAA info for the 6th May , just shows how working together on this Forum often produces the answers. I assume the death of Ff Oblt Werner Olbertz from 310121 was a 'declared death' as I could not find him on the 'Deutsche Flieger unter dem Nordlicht' listings
