Re: Hpt. Gustav Heckewerth
Doug, thanks for checking. KG 100 book says on landing approach to Chateaudun there was a problem with the Fowler flaps due to AA damage. Only one flap came down causing pilot to lose control and crash, with only the two gunners surviving injured. NVM gives crash site as 8km. S/W Cloys (Cloyes-sur-le-Loir) and Heckewerth ( no.53641/4) as b. 8-5-1915 at Leipzig.
