Re: Trying to ID shot up Do17P that FL on Waalhaven AF, Netherlands, about May 10-12, 1940

Larry,

The Auflkl Staffel z.b.V assigned to Luftflotte 2 used code T5, and was operated under Fliegerkorps z.b.V 2 (General Putzier).

The Do17P at Waalhaven is in my view most likely .Y+EA. In Barry Rosch no code nY is assigned to any specific Luftwaffe unit.
However, 1Y+CA and +DA were seen on Bf108's end 1939, early 1940.
That would fit with 1Y+EA of our Do17P.

A wild guess, also based on the Z5 code discussion for A.St.(F)/I. Flakkorps in the prarallel thread: could 1Y have been the code for A.St.(F)/II. Flakkorps?
This unit was known to have operated also from Waalhaven from 11 or 12 May onwards, and is the only one operating in the area of which I don't have confirmed unit code.

Regards, Pieter
