Re: Libya / A/C Losses in April - May 1942

Just an hour ago I found another account to the same incident: "Gebirgsjäger in Libyens Wüste", Werner Kost, SV.288: It happened on 5th April 1942. A Ju.52 brought in supplies when they saw enemy recce planes around noon time. The planes attacket the Ju.52 on the ground. The Gebirgsjäger platoon went into position around the area and shot back with MG and other infantry weapon they had. Ju.52 went ablaze but they could see that teach of he withdrawing enemy planes had a smoketail. German losses were a crew member of the Ju.52, the second in command of the Gebirgsjäger, Fw. Dussler and another one seriously injured.
