Re: Command Atlantic, December 1943.
One source: 2 Fw 200s up 0545hrs, landing 12 hours later; 11 Fw 200s up 0445-0500hrs, landing 12 hours. 1 x Ju 290 up 0640hrs.


Luftflotte 3: 8 Fw 200s up 0500-0749 hrs. One returns with engine problems. 1225 & 1235hrs Boeing spotted. Ships spotted 1235hrs
4 Fw 200s up 0636-0800hrs. Ships spotted 1305hrs as was a Catalina and Halifax


There were also Ju 88s around and reported nothing. VB-105 reported Fw 200s while VB-103 reported Ju 88s both later on. Curiously a 10 Sqn Sunderland spotted a He 111 around this time


As you can see I have quite a bit on this
