109 loss 6th aug 41, Wn 3802 or 3809 ?
 

Hi
I am tidying some files and suddenly noticed I have two serials for a loss near Theville, on 06-08-41, for E/JG2, Wn 3802 ? or Wn3809 ?
probably a typo by me, ( blame the keyboard he says !! )
But can anyone correct me as to which is correct, or were both lost that day ?
And whilst on the subject anyone know the fuselage codes on this a/c or on Wn1460 form the same unit ?
Many thanks in advance if anyone can assist me.
Cheers
Jerry

Hi, Jerry.

The loss report says that there were two aircraft of this unit destroyed this day, WNr 3802 and WNr 1460. The first was piloted by Uffz Helmut Rainer, he was killed, while the other pilot managed to parachute to safety. The code of the aircraft of Uffz Rainer could be in his NVM, the other one one would have to be lucky to obtain (from for example a Flugbuch or unit diary).

Andreas
