Some JG2 claims in 1942
 

Hi,

I`m looking for further information concerning the following claims of JG2:
- on the 8th January 1942 Erich Leie claimed one Hudson shot down. Who was his opponent?
- on the 13.02.42 Lt.Horn from the 3/JG2 claimed another Hudson shot down. Who was his opponent?
- on 4th February 1942 Fw.Helmut Baudach forced a Whitley to land on Ile d`Ouessant. From which british unit came this plane?
- during short stay in Holland Fw.Baudach claimed on the 15.03.42 one Blenheim shot down. Who was his opponent?

TIA

Regards

Robert

Robert,

For the moment I can only find one possible aircraft in your list - Hudson V8993 of 279 Sqn was lost on an ASR search over the North Sea on 13.02.42

Hi Larry,


thanks for this information. Do you have a take-off time of this plane?

Hi Robert,

Fw Baudach also claimed a Spitfire on 15 March 1942 at 14.02 hours over Holland. This was Spitfire V of 1401 Met. Flight, X4503, which crashed near Lopik. Pilot W/C Forbes was kia.

His other claim on 15 March 1942 was at 18.00 hours; other sources state 16.35 hours. Also see: http://www.luftwaffe.cz/baudach.html

I also have the other claims listed, but alas no further details. Who can provide more info?

Best wishes
Rob

Hi,

Regarding the Blenheim you mention on 15th March 1942, I am unable to find any Blenheim loss on that date which might be the one in question.

Good luck in your search for the other aircraft.
