Re: Rommel's Storch

Hi Boomerang

Thank you for your contribution ... the more information the better!

My post here http://www.feldgrau.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=20526 has produced some worthwhile information too.

If Rommel's aircraft were drawn from in-theatre units I guess he is sure to have had different ones from time to time (availablity/serviceability and so on).

But "CB" ... are you sure? I'm not an expert on Luftwaffe codes, but where the first character of a call sign was a letter wasn't the second character usually/always a number? Could it be "C8"? That would make it an aircraft from KG.z.b.V.323 I think ... which operated ME323s ... which seems to have served in the Mediterranean:

WDYT?

Thanks in advance
