Re: A Do 17 P lost on 6 or 7.09.19 near Nałączów?

Brian

it could not be.

On 6.09.39 was done by III/1 and IV/1 with 18 PZL P.11s a deep "seep"/reccon. around this area (time 14.30-16.00): Łodź-Uniejów-Koło-Ślesin.

There was a "well know" combat, during it Polish pilot had claimed at last 12 victories (first was 6 victories plus 4 damaged). In fact only 3 He 111 Hs of 4/KG 26 were lost plus one more damaged of 9.

Poles lost 3 planes shot down by German fire (2 pilot KIA), and 4 more due to lack of fuel. Only one returned later to the unit.

So this combat does not fit to this "Do 17", no way.


This 1H+AM force landed, destroyed, near Ruszków Drugi k/Koła, probably hit by pilots of III/1 Dyon.
