Re: LW's Total Losses over Warsaw in IX 1939?
The JU52, are given , as throwing "Brandbomben " at low altitude 300 m over airport, really ??

Okęcie airport was already captured (around 8.09.39), lotnisko Mokotowskie the old airport still not, but to attack with smal fire bomb Lotnisko Mokotowskie, very strange? If it was on 25.09.1939 (and only this day Ju 52 had attacked Warsaw), it is possible but stupid, it was easy target for fire from the ground. Too low hight for such attack of slow plane, ant maybe it was the reason of loosing 2 Ju 52s?
