Re: Unidentified KG 3 crash-landings

Chris,

a) I have several photo of 5K+EH in the EoE Photo DB, tentatively identified as FL at "Melsbroek," Belgium, NE of Brussels, on May 12, 1940. However, not confirmed. I've won some photos of this one on eBay, hoping to get the W.NR. but have only tenuously recorded 2354. The location probably came from a caption on one of the photos.

b) I think the 2nd is 5K+JM of 4./KG3 FL sometime during the WC. Also not certain, but prop blades are bent the same. What is the strange "hump" that appears above or behind the rear gunner's compartment?

Regards,
