Re: Paul Fröhlich
GILLES,
Do you have the WEATHER report for that particular day? I am curious to know if this was a "maintenance" problem (engine failure, or engine fire for instance) or if it was related to the weather....the guy flying into mist and loosing control (CFIT) in instrument flying (IFR) conditions...By that time (1943) they were not really well trained on IFR flying...so maybe a "path" to follow up...although, from your previous accounts and findings (Aerorecherche), the maintenance down South (around Toulouse) was the cause of a lot of accidents (engines in fire, engines breaking down, etc.). Was it the wather? Was it French mechanics sabotaging the LW engines? Or simply poor maintenance at Squadron level??
