Re: 1 Sqn on 16 August 1940

Just a little more detail for 16 August 1940 from the Flugbuch of Uffz Paul Lege of 5/JG 27 who participated in events that day. He seems to have been flying a newly delivered 109 in factory codes NA+HS. He flew two war flights over England that day in this machine, as under:

Escort for Ju 87's over England from 13.15 to 14.25
Frei jagd over England from 17.50 to 19.00

These were his 41st and 42nd war flights respectively, and I suspect that NA+HS was W Nr 3881, becoming "14" by 20 August after which it was his regular mount and he rarely flew any other machine before being lost in it on 7 October 1940.

Just a little more minutiae for the 16 August 40.
