Re: He111 max altitude

About 16,000 ft, I would say.
This picture was taken at about 1700 hours on September 7 according to Francis K. Mason.
He adds that this He111 was one of 348 bombers escorted by 617 fighters that flew in formations stepped up from 15,000 to 23,000 ft on that day.
The bombers, he says, rarely flew higher than 18,000 ft.
