Re: Luftwaffe rescue buoys
Hi Franek,
out of a book "The NJ War Diaries" by Dutch historians which will be published in 2008 in the UK:
"There were also chivalrous actions from aviators on both sides - English bombers whose target was obscured while on the bombing run did not always salvo their cargoes over an already blazing city indisciminately but sought out alternative targets, putting their own lives in heightened danger. Or German nightfighters who aimed for the wings of the bomber when opening fire, giving the RAF crews time to prepare to bale out."
my best wishes to you for 2008
Peter (NJG 5/6)
