Thanks for your reply edNorth. I have updated my records accordingly.
I also note the quote from the book Luftwaffe in Colour 1939-42 is also wrong 'Lost during its first catapult launch" P.65. According to the site
http://www.luftwaffe-zur-see.de/Seel...listen/Dornier 26.htm, it appears its first launch from the catapult ship 'Friesenland' was on 10th September 1940.
