Re: He115 attacked DC-3
Hei,
"when they observed a twin-engined dark coloured aircraft"
The DC 3 was beside the KLM text, not painted. But because of the war the word holland was painted in large capitals under and on both sides of the fuselage! After this incident the DC 3s of the KLM were painted completely orange. At the Aviodrome museum there is a DC 3 painted like such a DC 3, I'll see that I can post an image. There was a crew of 5 on board and 12 passengers. According Dutch reports the DC 3 was hit by more than 80 bullets. According German reports it happened in sector Q 9333.
Regards,
Mathieu.
