Hello,
In our EoE Luft loss DB, we have this entry: ""May 19, 1940: 3.(F)/11 Dornier Do17P-1. Believed damaged in attack south of Vervins by Lt Vinçotte of GC II/4 and forced-landed 7.50 a.m. Bordfunker wounded, rest of crew unhurt. Aircraft 10% damaged - repairable."
Does anyone have the name of this WIA Bordfunker?
The specific location of this FL is not known, although photo captions suggest that it may have come down near Aizecourt, which is NE of Péronne, France. Various photos of a FL Do17P have appeared many times on eBay over the years, but none that could match the a/c, code, which appears to be 6M+BL, with a specific loss other than possibly the May 19, 1940 incident listed above. Is anyone familiar with this a/c loss or have any specific information that would tie it to this May 19th report?
