Re: Dornier 217 E4 Kettering

Hi Mike,

The Dornier Do 217E-4 Wnr.1225 (U5 + AD) came down at Cranford, a small village on the outskirts of Kettering. This aircraft of the Stab III/Kampfgeschwader 2 was shot down by F/Lt Lindsay Black (RNZAF) in a Spitfire Vb of No.485 Squadron during attack on Wellingborough, Northants, August 3rd 1942, killing all four crew members.
Uffz Eugen Beyerer, Uffz Erich Huwald, Uffz Zerak and Gefr Frisch all now lie in the Deutsche Soldatenfriedhof Cannock Chase: Block 9. Row 6. Grave 35.

Regards

Melvin
