Good job..........you found Ritter. I never thought to look under 3.(F)/Nacht (K7+-L) (FpN L 31545) because there is no genealogical connection between it and 3.(F)/22 (4N+-L) (FpN L 13001). The only thing they shared in common was the airfield at Dno. They both existed separately at the same time and I know of no cases where they shared aircraft or air crew. I guess it should have rung a bell when you quite clearly said it was a night flight because 3.(F)/22 almost always flew VFR, whereas the crews from 3.(F)/Nacht where specially trained for IFR missions. They were two entirely different units.
