Thank you Greg for generating some light on the subject rather than heat.

As you know, I already have your book The Lost Hopes and, indeed, have recommended it to others on this website though I confess that I have failed to take full account of its content on occasion. Despite the retrospective nature of the evidence, from all that has been said it now seems that Nowakiewicz could be added to those GCII/7 pilots involved with the Do17s of KG77 on June 15, 1940.

One small point, you are wrong to say that von Stutterheim's Dornier was the only one to fall in the area at the time, for Fw Schweiger's aircraft also came down '30 km NW of Neufchateau' during this action. However, it was clearly not that attacked by Mumler & Co. as its crew all remained on board.
