Re: Seeking photos of Ju88A-1 shot down in the Firth of Forth on 16.10.39

Hello,

My apologies to Peter for all the frustration of seeing less than the most current updates to some of our loss entries. This entry was resurrected from some time ago, and probably didn't reflect what I carry now.

For those who don't know our process, we've added or updated thousands of entries to our loss DB due to detailed further research with FB, KTBs, Accident Listings, Photos and their captions, personal diaries, and many other sorts of official and unofficial records. This process is on-going every day. I've never counted the number of losses we now carry for all sides from 01.09.39 through 31.12.40, but it is probably approaching 10,000 individual entries, and includes entries for damage and casualties, often too minor to have been covered in the Luftwaffe QM reports. This allows us to tie into many reports of air (and AA from the ground) reports that otherwise don't provide any tie in with results to the other side.

Before we publish anything, we will carefully compare notes between the files of both Peter and I to make sure that we are working from the most up to date file entries.

Regards,

Larry Hickey
EoE Project Coordinator


The way that we've decided
