Try and find the losses for the Stukas from St.G. 1 that have appeared in several publications with the rather large holes in them from the Malta Flak. (one was Mahlke's machine, the other another RK winner). In another incident, this time from Crete, one crew was shot down and paddled around the Med for a couple of days before being picked up. Not mentioned in the losses - I think this was mentioned in the Bruetting book on Stuka aces. The pilot, whose name I can't recall, was an eventual RK winner.
