Re: Bf109 crash-landed Antikythera (Greek island) May 1941
Hi Tasos

Thanks for the response.

Actually, I am referring to the Luftwaffe ace Ltn Adolf Dickfeld of II/JG77 who implies in his book Footsteps of the Hunter that he force-landed on a beach on Antikythera after being hit by a Hurricane in May 1941. He states that a Hurricane he had shot down also force-landed on the same beach.

Having just re-read the passage, I now realise that the Hurricane and Bf109 apparently came down on the tip of southern Greece, probably near Argos



Any ideas?

Cheers
Brian
