Here we go again....

unidentified German aircraft - 30/31 July 1942 - Orleans airfield, destroyed earlier hours on the morning of the 31 July?

Any takers? Apparently twin engine and caught fire.

Thanks for looking.

Cheers

Seem to remember I covered this in my Fw 200 book so will check when back home. Not sure it was an operational flight-IV Gruppe & well away from usual AOO

Thanks all for this.

Chris, at least the claim was true! Do you know if there are any photos of crew or aircraft that are documented anywhere?

Thanks

Danny

Sorry no but I do have generic photos of IV./KG 40. Boller was killed flying with 7./KG 40 exactly a year later
