Re: Crew of Ju 52 WNr 5460, 29 September 1942
A fellow searcher sent me copies of the ORB of 145 and 601 Sqn for this day, and both confirm that the train looked for was not seen, and that only the Ju 52 was attacked. The ORB of 145 Sqn describes in detail the path of the trio searching for the train and does not include any ground attack.
I wonder what was the source used for the book "The Millionaires' Squadron: The Remarkable Story of 601 Squadron and the Flying Sword" but this part of the story seems to be false.
A last question: the 601 Sqn ORB says that Sherk force landed in "Quattara Depression Square 8423 Matruh Sheet." Can someone convert this into a longitude/latitude position ? I know of a converter for European positions, but it did not cover Africa.
Best regards
