Two claims of night recce plane(s) - Black Sea 3/4.Oct.43
 

Hello,

4.Oct.43 Marineverbindungsoffizier with I.Fliegerkorps reported that at night (3/4.Oct.) "our night recce shot down 1 enemy flying boat for certain and 1 probably, type: 'Consolidated'".

Indeed, two old flying boats MBR-2 from 2.sqn 119.OMRAP failed to return during the nuisance raids against Feodosia, 1st between 20:15 and 02:00 msk and 2nd between 03:30 and 04:36 msk.

Also one MBR-2 had some damages due to AA fire. So the participation of Flak in Feodosia can't be completely ruled out in the fate of the MBR-2s in question.

What unit made the claims? 4.(F)/122, Küsta Krim, SAGr125 or somebody else?

Best regards,
Andrey
