More silly questions from Nick
Guys: It's another one of these 'damned fool questions from Nick'!
Two odd things popped into my head so here goes:
A mission by Johannes Naumann; sometime 'in the fall of 1942' Naumann was involved in a mission to intercept one of the early missions by the 8th AF; the narrative said his FW's engine exploded, bring his mission to an 'abrupt end'; Had to ask if Naumann had to bail out or if he succeeded in making a dead stick landing.
And
Hermann Staiger led III/JG26 in Southern German to a VERY successful mission on April 22, 1944, against USAAF Heavies; I was wondering if the records show how the MEs were armed; The book said Staiger's 109 had a 30mm cannon in the nose but I wondered if it or the other planes had also been equipped with underwing cannon pods;
Thx, ahead of time.
