Dear seaplanes,
thank you for the corrections on He.114! I'm also surprised how many of these planes (almost 30!) were used in 1939 against Polish forces!
As for the 5/B.Fl.Gr. 196 - since it was based in Hortenau (which is around 600 km from Gdynia) I presume that this unit was only used in Western Baltic and was not directly involved in the combat.
Anyway below I'm enclosing all the informations about Kü.Fl.Gr. units which I was able to gather from various sources. Probably it has many mistakes but nevertheless I hope it will be useful for anyone
If anyone (especially seaplanes
) notice any mistake or omission please let me know!

BTW is there any good source (apart of the BA/MA) describing combat use of hydroplanes in war against Poland?!
