Re: Dornier Do 217 top pilot Wolfgang Hankamer

That is interesting David. Both are now long gone but I was in touch with the family and even gave a virtual eulogy at the son's remembrance service. He had sent me scans of all he had including photos and one Leistungsbuch. No FB. I have had a closer look at his "Remembrances" which includes the citation for the DKiG. First flew 8 Aug 40 and flew 17 day and 58 night missions against UK, 4 Yugoslavia, 8 Greece, 18 Crete and 28 Russia which makes 133 and therefore 32 missions with the Do 217
