Re: Ofw Artur Buchert
Cannot be sure, because there are two losses for the same WNr. I think, that 430231 is not correct for this September 5 loss of Ju 88D-1 (I have made in my files a note "Wrong WNr?). Based on loss statistics I believe that:
430001-430100 are Ju 88D-5
430101-430166 are Ju 88D-1
430167-430250 are Ju 88D-5
430251-430940 are Ju 88D-1.
Therefore it is more probable, that August 23, 1943 loss of Ju 88D-5 is WNr. 430231.
Otherwise the info should be OK. If not, please correct and I will make modification to my database.

Best regards,
Matti Salonen

P.S. I use in my database standard ISO date format Year-Month-Day, because this way the computer makes excellent chronological lists.
