Re: 23.11.39 Do 17P damaged by French fighters
Robert,
Don't know whether its significant
Peter Cornwell has this on 22 Nov 1939 relating to a Do 17P recce plane in combat with GC II/7.
4(F)./121 Dornier Do17P. Engaged by Adjt
Valentin, S/Lt Gauthier. S/Lt Gruyelle and
Sgt Lamblin of GC II/7 and pursued to Moos
eventually forced-landing at Seefeld. west of
Saltzburg. Lt R. Habermann died of injuries.
Ll H. Boucher and Gefr H. Griindling badly
wounded. Aircraft a write-off.
Checked both Shores and Cornwell regarding aircraft recorded damaged/claimed by GC II/7 and could only come up with the above.
Aircraft of GC 111/7 came into contact with a 3(F)./121 He 111, again on 22 Nov, and chased that into Belgium - the Heinkel, which the french pilot miss-identified as a Ju 88, subsequently crashed in Germany.
Also can map your KTB sorties back to specific losses. However, the one that I cannot currently map is the sortie of the Dombrowsky crew.....so.
Hope the above is of help.
