LOberleutnant Hans Muhlbauer - Lost in Attack Against Bristol July 1940?
 

Hi,

Could anyone confirm that Oberleutnant Hans Muhlbauer was lost on a mission to Bristol on 24th July 1940? Could you provide details of unit and aircraft?
Many thanks
Rick

Muhlbauer was from 1/123 and killed near Brest due to a technical problem with their Ju 88

I believe Mühlbauer was St.Kap. 1.(F)/123 at the time of his loss. He was flying in Ju 88A-1 (4U+EH)
