Re: Amiot 143M in Croatian Air force
Hi Marko,
Many thanks for your most interesting and edifying reply. You are entirely correct about how a historical error gets published once, twice and then set in concrete as fact the third and subsequent times it's published. World War II history is riddled with examples of this.
Incidentally, the Amiot seems to have "disappeared" during the first half of 1943 when it no longer appears in any of the Croatian aircraft listings. Frka makes no mention of it after 31 Dec 42, nor does General-potpukovnik avijacije Vojislav Mikić is his multi-part series on the 1941-45 air war over the NDH and BiH published in Vojnoistorijski Glasnik 1986-88. So I am guessing it was struck from the inventory of active aircraft? Shoved into a hangar and forgotten? Scrapped? Any idea what happened to it?
