Thanks in advance.

Pure bombers? Fuchs, Fiebig, Baumbach, Vetter, Kuntze, Doensch, Crüger, Hinkelbein, Wieting, Schultz between 6 April and 19 June. Harlinghausen was a Staff officer and his missions were anti-shipping, not conventional bombing missions. This is covered in the book I am working on

Full lists and info available here -

http://www.luftwaffe39-45.historia.nom.br. Entrar / Ases/Outros but beware - they are filed by the highest award the person was awarded. That is, if the person was awarded the Swords (Espades) then he is not listed in the RK (Crus Cavaleiro) or Eichenlaub (Folhas Carvalho) sections.

Cheers
Peter
