Re: Lufttransportstaffel 290

Here Paul,

And Andy, almost correct, Mr. Ott and Mr. Kössler did not know that an additonal 0 (null) was missing from their list of Ju 290 numbers. This came to light when an main dataplate from sister aircraft (W.Nr. 2900110157 owed by Stephen F. Polyak) came to light last year. Otherwise book is excellent reading; aircraft thus Ju 290 A-1 W.Nr. 2900110154 SB+QD J4+AH of 1./LTS 290 : Non-OPS (H) struck ground (50% Er) {landing at night at the edge of Sidi Achmed Airfield} at Bizerta [Tunisia] 01.05.1943 (Hptm. Vogel and crew uninjured)

cheers
