Re: Hello

Good morning to all.

Regarding the link sent by Nick Beale, who computed a mervellous study of KGr 100 on his site, it did work with me on the first click....maybe provider problems or TI bugs with the other members. So, NICK BEALE, keep going!

GOODERS 57> Are you interested only on the crash of the 6N+JJ or are you researching ALL KGr 100 machines that flew on that raid, or all the LW machines that were sent to Birmingham that night? It was not fully clear on the first thread.

Do not remember if the book of Roba do have a Picture of Lt. Pius...

KGr 100 did have a lot of casualties due to mechanical problems (engine fire, engine failure, fuel starvation on return flights, etc.). Do not know if this was purely related to the poor conditions of Vannes-Meucon or if this was common with the other Kampfgeschwaders too, ex: KG 2, KG 3, KG 1, etc....It would be nice to compare the statistics of accidents related to mechanical problems such quoted....
