Re: Baltic GAF losses ?
Hi David,
Is the date for all the claims correct, the reason I ask is that MOSQUITOPANIK shows the Heinkels and Ju86 to Scherf on the 16th. However the Sharp/Bowyer book Mosquito indicates Scherf got a Ju86 and a He111 at Greifswald and a second Heinkel at Bad Doderan on 2/3rd May. For the 16th it shows Scherf/Finlayson with Cleveland/Day on a Ranger to the Baltic with Scherf returning with a damaged aircraft and Cleveland ditching with Flak damage off the Swedish coast losing Frank Day. Cleveland being rescued, it also notes Scherf was killed in a motor accident in Australia in July 1949.
I only have the two books to refer to so I do not know which is correct,
Regards
Brian Bines
