Re: Fate of 6./KG2 on 19th August 1942

Seems that the staffel was destroyed later in the day, than I had thought, Balke gives them a take off time of 11:54.

Does anybody have an idea it how long it would take to fly from Arnhem-Deelen to the Dieppe area? A quick goggle search gives me a distance of about 500km and the speed for a Do217E-4 of 482km/h, so I'm guessing it would take no more than 70 minutes, as the small formations involved wouldn't have required much time to form up. Does this sound right?

Regards

Steve
