Re: Werknummer of Doras lost on 1.09.39?

Hi,

the combat range of Bf109D was slightly larger than Bf109E:
- Dora could fly some 1 1/3 flight hours
- and Emil some 5/4 flight hours
It was for a mistake made by Luftwaffe (or Luftflotte 1) HQ.
E.g. Lt.Hans-E.Bob from the 3/JG21 (first a sole member of this flight) reached his base (Rostken) with the last drops of fuel.

Regards

Robert
