Re: INformation concerning the Loss of Uffz. Johann Bauhuber - 31.12.1941
Rick, the Fw 58 was one of the type used as servitude planes by frontline units, to carry personnel and small amounts of supplies between bases. It was often used to carry pilots as passengers to a rear area base, from where they will fly new replacement aircraft. Or it could be a base change and the unit had more pilots than aircraft (something very usual), so some pilots will be flown as passengers in this kind of plane.
On the other hand, Bauhuber is not shown as a pilot or a passenger but as a flying engineer in the losslist.
