Hello friends,
Studying the history of I.NJG 1 and Venlo airfield for many, I am 1. very interested in the discussion and 2. was really amazed by the mass of details that came up in! As you know the operational start of the He219 was from Venlo airfield in June 1943 and I.NJG 1 had been the sole unit to receive the He219 in sufficient numbers.
The discussion also has learnt me (and hopefully others too!) that how strong someone believes in his own knowledge, others MIGHT have other information too that even could shake your own assumptions. If we all try to RESPECT that chance, big or small, before we put something on paper, we might find what really happened 60 years - I repeat 60 years - ago.
Hoping that Artie and George continue in good spirits for the sake of this forum AND airwar history, all the best
