Re: KG 54 loss - 10 May 1940
Stijn,
This is what we carry in the EoE LW DB for this incident:
27 May 1940: 5./KG54 Heinkel He111P-2. Badly damaged by Hurricanes of No.56 Squadron over Nieuport and belly-landed between Tielt and Kanegem 4.20 p.m. Possibly that attacked by S/L E.V. Knowles and Sgt R.D. Baker. FF Uffz Erwin Stobbe captured badly wounded - died May 31, BF Uffz Theodor Bolle captured wounded, BO Oberlt Wilfried Gerling and BM Uffz Gerhard Ulke both captured unhurt – all later released. Aircraft B3+FN 100% write-off."
I have the first photo already in our photo DB. It was published in "The Battle of France Then and Now" by Peter Cornwell P387. Our copy is cropped about half way down the fuselage. The second photo is new to me. Would it be possible to obtain high resolution (600 dpi) images of both of these?
