[Karoband]

Good afternoon,

From the British report, BT 8070, issued 23 0859z/3/45 and found in DEFE 3 520 page 267 (based on CX/MSS/T. 496/118, 119.):

From Nick Beale's article "Kommandos Götz, Sperling, Hecht and 1.(F)/123" in the file "Luftwaffe Reconnaissance" in his Ghostbombers site, it appears that while with Kommando Sperling, Muffey had his own aircraft, Arado Ar 234 B-2/b 140349 T9+KH.

Would Muffey have had his own personal Arado while with 1.(F)/123?

best regards,

Jim
