German aircraft at Dakar July 1940
Hi guys
I somehow doubt that the answer will be forthcoming (or should I not doubt our experts on TOCH?)
On 27 July 1940, a German transport aircraft (Ju52/3m ??) arrived at Dakar to start repatriation of 100 or so mainly German merchant seaman who had been stranded following the loss of their vessels since the beginning of the war. These flights continued until 3 August.
However, according to author John Williams in 'The Guns of Dakar', one of those repatriated was "a badly wounded German flying ace".
Now, I appreciate the term 'ace' in this case probably means experienced, but who was he and where did he come from?
Cheers
Brian
