Lt Heinz Schnabel JG3 - Miles Magister 24/11/1941
Hi !
On 24/11/1941 two German POW's (Heinz Schnabel of JG3 and Harry Wappler of KG27) stole a Miles Magister at a RAF airbase. However they had to make an emergency landing and were captured (again).
Lt Heinz Schnabel had scored 6 victories, including a RAF Spitfire on 19/05/1940 and he made the same day a belly-landing near Philippeville, damaging his Bf109E-1.
Looking for more details about this pilot, his 'escape' and the Miles Magister in question.
Many thanks and best regards from Belgium
