The Guernsey (30th June T/O 1253 Hrs.) landings were 3(F(/123 according to the book ''The Easter Bunnies'' by Roman Gastager. He was flying in Do17 4U+FL pilot Ltn Hauber which was the first to land of three Dorniers and Gastager was the first the get out on British soil. It also says the flight was carried under the command of St.Kap Liebe-Piderit and Goering came to congratulate the crews on their return at Buc. It would appear that Liebe-Piderit was later killed flying the Bleriot monoplane that made the first Channel Crossing. Gastager says of Liebe-Piderit that he was a great St.Kap and an enthusiastic pilot,

Hope this helps
