Re: Seeking crash location, presumably France, for Recon Do17P of 4.(F)/121 Missing on 28.03.40

Hello,

Bertrand has cracked the story and location of this "missing" Do17. Peter C. has now revised this entry to read:

"28 March 1940 Western Front Amend: 4.(F)/121 Dornier Do17P-1 (4166). Met adverse weather conditions during reconnaissance of airfields south of Toul and crashed in a heavy snow storm at Maucourt-sur-Orne, north-west of Etain. FF Lt Felix Böcher, BO Fw Georg Mikusky, and BF Uffz Franz Mückisch all killed. Aircraft 100% write-off. (Bertrand)"

I still hope that we can find photos of this crash site, which will probably only yield only badly smashed wreckage.

My thanx for your help in getting the story on this one correct.
