Re: 2x Heinkel 111's lost 28.9.40 II/KG26

Gentleman, many thanks to you all, for your excellent information.
Another mystery once again!

Peter, could the III/KG26 crews being used were down to the fact II/KG26
had lost so many a/c and crew during september, and again with at least half the Gruppen a/c suffering damage from 10 up to 50% also?

At this time also the III/KG26 wasn't operational and preparing for the night Blitz equipping with the new He111H-5 and undertaking training with the Y-Verfahren installation. Perhaps a few crews were given valuable operational experience?
I guess we will never know one way or the other.

Best regs,
Steve.
