Re: Operation Bodenplatte
In the excellent ref. book on the subject: 'Bodenplatte' by J.Manrho and R.Pütz, P. 186-187, Hikoki Publ., one can find that:
"Gefr. Horst Sengpiel was last seen over the Scheldt and was probably shot down by AAA. Some pilots noticed seeing him leaving the formation and flying west, initially believing that he had deserted. However, no trace of him or his Bf 109 K-4 'Black 15' was ever found and he is still reported MIA"
Here the ac is mentioned as Black 15 instead of White 15.
An ID-photo of Horst S. is also published
I hope this can be of intertest.
