Lost Heinkel III near Leros 14 Nov 1943
Does anyone have information about a Heinkel shot down over the sea about 10 miles East of Leros, around midday on 14th November 1943? My father was with 46 Squadron planes involved in the incident and they were immediately chased by 6 ME109s, who shot down one Beaufighter and possibly another as it fled towards the Turkish coast. Is there any way I can find out about the ditched Heinkel, and whether the crew survived? Does anyone know which unit the ME 109's would have been from?
