Re: Ca 311 shot down in Yugoslavia on 6 March 1942
Hello Laurent and Larry,
According to the research conducted by my late friend Vojislav Mikić, the plane belonged to 63ᵒ Gruppo, based at Pola at the time. The plane crashed at around 15.00. It was not certain if the plane fell to AA fire or for other reasons. Keeping in mind the short distance between Jasenica-Mostar airfield and Blagaj village, where the plane is said to have crashed, I'd say that the plane crashed shortly after take-off. The three-man crew was flying towards Kalinovik in Bosnia and not Kragujevac. The captain in question was observer. Unfortunately, there are no names of the crew or any other details.
Cheers,
Boris
