Information concerning loss of Feldwebel Gottfried Egl - France 14th June 1940
Hi,
Tried finding Feldwebel Egl in Then and Now France book but could not find him. Can you please provide information on him? Thanks Rick http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NjQwWDQwMA...Giw~~60_12.JPG |

Not sure, if he was a pilot, because I have the following:
1940-06-14, 4.(F)/11, Do 17P, Dorf Lafauche bei Neufchateau, 20 km südwestlich Nancy, Absturz infolge Jägerbeschuß von Spitifre. Bruch 100 %. Flugzeugführer Fw Schmidt, Kurt, + Beobachter Fw Egl, Gottfried, + Bordfunker Ufw Hummenberger, Hans, + Alle in Andilly/Frankreich, Block 40, Reihe 3, Grab 16 Matti |

Yes, he was the pilot and no, he is not in BoFrT&N as I did not have full details of this loss at time of publication. Revised entry now reads:
14 June 1940: 4.(F)/11 Dornier Do17P-1. Failed to return from reconnaissance sortie and crashed near Lafauche, 20 miles south-west of Neufchâteau. FF Fw Gottfried Egl, BO Fw Kurt Schmidt, and BF Fw Hans Hummenberger all killed. Aircraft 100% write-off. |

Hallo Peter
Unless you mean there was a second 4.(F)/11 loss, I presume you update the loss given on page 470? Cheers Stig |
