ZG 26 bail out of 19 August 1940
 
Hi all,

I am looking for details on plane identification and circumstances which led Hauptmann Kaminski and his Bordfunker Unteroffizier Heinrich Strauch on 19 August 1940 to bail out. They flew a Bf 110 C-2 on a combat mission against Britain. In the occurring combat with the enemy fighters in the vicinity from Dunkerque they were hit, both wounded and had to bail out.
Any details appreciated. THANKS

Peter

This incident was 18.8.1940.
Full story is in book "Zerstorer - The Messerschmitt Bf 110 and its Units in 1940" - J.Vasco - page nr.138-139

Peter -

This engagement with Kaminski and his BF is also chronicled in the book by Alfred Price "Battle of Britain - The hardest Day 18 August 1940" and in the book by Richard Collier "Eagle Day". In the latter publication a fairly lengthy account of the action is written.

Regards

Jeremy
