Re: Need info on L1+AK of 14.(Z)/LG1 down in Belgium 5.40
Larry,
Forget it. The codes I quoted are, as you say, clearly wrong & should have read L1+AH as confirmed by contemporary French reports on the incident. This is consistent with GAFFAL being 13 Staffel and also, incidentally, deputy Staffelkapitan at that time.
Within 14 Staffel losses for the period, only SCHALKHAUSER on 17 May 1940 seems a likely candidate but I have no evidence of the codes his aircraft carried. Interestingly, in view of the point you make in regard to the Staka's machine, METHFESSEL was also lost that day flying the L1+LK which may add some weight to the possibility ?
