Re: 8/KG 4 Crash-landings at Schiphol
Chris,
I think I have found it.
Fliegerhorst Schiphol, part 1, page 181.
Ab gives as source: BA/MA RL 21/222 KTB 1 Fl.H.Kdtr. L 9/I Schiphol-Amsterdam (01.07.40 - 11.09.40).
"At August 13th, 1940 4 Me 110's of III./ZG 23 have made an emergency landing at the airfield Java near dry-dock in Amsterdam North. One plane went nose-over. The maschine is defect. Crew hurt. Three of the a/c are at Schiphol airport. The plane has been salvaged by the Fl.H.Kdtr."
Two remarks from my side. ZG 23 must be a typo. Should be ZG 26, I think.
At the same page in his book Ab talks about the recce unit 4.(H.) 23.
Second remark, the Java airfield is the former Dutch M.L. emergency airfield Buiksloot.
Problem solved?
Jaap
