Re: Photos 12-19

Thanks Ed for another interesting set of ebay links!

The photo showing the starboard front quarter photo angle is published on p.185 in "Huzaren van de nacht Deel 1" by C.Cornelissen, 2007. Photo credit H.Gampe. Unfortunately reproduced in a size far to small, as with sadly too many of the photos of aircraft in this book.

The aircraft is captioned as Bf 110 G-4 G9+BS of 8./NJG 1 flown by the Staffel leader Hptm. Lütje together with Uffz. August Bogumil. It was damaged in the left engine by MG fire from the Lancaster they attacked and had to make an emergency landing. The Lanc thus avoided beeing shot down. This apparently took place in the night between 4th and 5th of May 1943.
