Hi All,
Would anyone know any information about the crew that flew the shark-mouthed Bf 110E G9+JM of 4/NJG1 based at St Trond, Belgium, used in the Operation Donnerkeil in February 1942? Thank you very much Franklin [Source for photo: Nachtjager v. 1: Luftwaffe Night Fighter Units 1939-1943 (Luftwaffe Colours) by David Williams (2006), p. 42] |
