Ar 234 - emergency landing
Hi all
On 09.01.1945 an Ar 234 B of 8./KG 76 with code F1 + CS had to make an emergency landing at Grimma (SO Leipzig). Pilot was Ofw Anton Drews. Can someone assign a WNr. to this aircraft (can it be 140325 ?) ? thank you in advance JoMe |

Hello JoMe,
From Jan Horn, KG 76 Die Chronik des Kampfgeschwaders 76 im Zeitraum 01.01. 1944 bis 08.05. 1945, (2019), p. 196: "...Ofw. Drews, der den Auftrag hat, die F1+CS (Werk-Nr. 140 320[sic]), nach Burg zu überführen, startet um 11:15 Uhr in Alt-Lonnewitz mit diesem Aiftrag. Aus bislang nicht bekannten Gründen muß er um 11:28 Uhr in Grimme, 22 km nördlich von Dessau-Roßlau notlanden." In all other entries, Horn refers to F1+CS as "Werk-Nr. 140 325" so I think you are correct. Jim |

Smith & Creek give W.Nr. 140325 as F1+CS of 8./KG 76, too.
