info on Helmut Lent's aircraft while commanding II/NJG2?
 

Hello,

Is there any information available on the aircraft that Helmut Lent flew while commanding II/NJG2 between November 1941 and October 1942?

My best guess at the radio code would be R4+AC, but that's only speculation. Is there any info on exact type (110 C, D, E), W.nrs and that sort of thing?

Hello Jim,

I think that there might be an error about BG+EJ : according to my Bf110 file it should have been BG+CJ which is connected to Wnr.2674, a Bf110 F-4 nightfighter.

I am sure that this last aircraft appears in your database too, because it was lost on 17/18 May 1942 with the 4./NJG 2 (3 killed), that Staffel belonged to Lent's II./NJG 2 in Leeuwarden.

All the best, Marcel Hogenhuis/Venlo
