Two Ju88s lost 27/3/41 Med
Hi guys
Re-reading Hajo Herrmann's 'Eagles Wings' - on page 99 he relates that a crew from 7/KG30 was shot down by a fighter, the crew having also shot down their attacker, and that all five airmen (which included the British pilot) were rescued by ASR craft from Sicily. I believe this may have been Oblt Walter Weller and his crew of 4D+GR on 27 March 1941. Can anyone confirm this and also identify the British pilot? Presumably FAA.
On this same date, a Ju88 of 6/LG1 (Uffz August Johannesmann) was shot down by a twin-engine fighter. Any details regarding the latter?
Cheers
Brian
