Re: He 59 shot down by Ginger Lacey
Sorry, but no Heinkel He 59 or similar aircraft, was reported lost or damaged on or around this date (17.07.1941). I have this from several sources. The only seaplane lost on this date was an Arado Ar 95A-5 that was shot down in combat with Soviet I-16 fighters in the Eastern Baltics. However, it was not unusual that seaplanes were apparently shot down as observed from a fighter aircraft, but in many cases these planes landed safely on the sea and then being towed ashore by rescue boats.
