Re: He 111 - KG 54

Rudi,

The info in the referenced "Luftwaffe im Focus" articles is incorrect. There is a clear color photograph of this aircraft, showing that the "B" is yellow with a white outline, not red. The Staffel code letter is also "L," not "K." Cornwell's book also indicates that this is a 3 Staffel loss, although he does not cite the aircraft code.

There are also errors in Radtke's KG54 loss list--at least two that come to mind are inaccurate locations for crashes. There are probably others.

Hope that this clarifies this one for you.

Regards,
