Re: Condor Legion Seaplane Losses
Hi Adam
Putnams published "Aircraft of the Spanish Civil War" by Gerald Howson and from it there is some supplementary information but with no great detail. It lists losses:-
26 and 31 July '37 2 He 59s forced down in the sea by AA fire but towed back to Pollensa.
28/1/38 1 He 59 hit by AA and landed in the sea nr Mallorca but sank.
31/3/38 1 He 59 shot down by Capt Corral of Grupa 71 in a Dewoitine D 510 whilst bombing Barcelona
31/12/38 1 He 59 Shot down over Vallis
5/3/39 1 He 59 shot down by Grumman GE-23s
some of those in Steve's post are not mentioned in the book so an element of caution about accuracy is suggested as to whether Howsons book has got everything there is.
Regards
Dick
