Re: Seeking Staffel for I.(Z)/LG1 Bf110C crew loss 4.10.39
Matti,

Thanks for the info on the 4.10.39 crash. Puts a Staffel to the casualties and the photo of the crash. I'm going to leave it to Peter Cornwell, who is our lead DB loss researcher and maintains the EOE loss data bases, to comment on the 16 December 1939 incident.

Does anyone else have any photos of a badly smashed Bf110 on a riverbank with 1939-style fuselage crosses and a tail-centered swastica in their collection? It looks possible that the a/c codes could be read on the rear fuselage wreckage, but I know that this is a long shot. It should read L1+?K.

Regards,
