Hi all,

On January 27th 1944, a formation of 3 Ju 52 floatplanes, accompanied by an equal number of Arado 196s, were sighted to the west of Mykonos. Four 603 Squadron Beaufighters attacked and in the fight all the Junkers were shot down, as well as two of the Arados.
These Arados of the 1. Staffel 126 were:
FF. Gfr. Horst Pfützner, Ar 196 A3 (D1+AH, W.Nr. 0154) 100% m. BO. Ltn. Wolfgang Reichel, beide (v.) im Kampf mit 4 Beaufighter (603 Sqn) während eines Ju-52 Geleits 27.01.44 westlich Mykonos,
FF. Fw. Gustav Zobel, Ar 196 A3 (D1+CH, W.Nr. 0328) 100% m. BO. Uffz. Herbert Thurner, beide (v.) imKampf mit 4 Beaufighter (603 Sqn) während eines Ju-52 Geleits 27.01.44 westlich der Insel Mykonos,


Which was the third one? Any idea about the floatplanes? They belonged to the 3. Seetransportstaffel, one was,

FF. Uffz. Kurt Werner, Ju 52 (See) 3g5e (TE+DZ, bzw 8A+GL, W.Nr. 6987) 100%
