Oberst Johannes Fink KG2 1940

Hi guys

I note that Oberst Fink's KG2 Do17 sustained damage on 7 September 1940 during a sortie to London. According to Alexander McKee in 'Strike from the Sky', every member of his crew was wounded. Although its not recorded in 'After the Battle Now & Then', it appears to be shown in Mason's 'Battle over Britain' since he has A5+CA (WrkNr 2674) of Stab/KG2 as 10% damaged with two wounded. Is this a correct assumption? Has anyone full crew details and casualties?

It is not clear (to me) from McKee's account if Fink's aircraft was damaged by fighters, AA or by fire from another Dornier (see p.201 of paperback version). Any comment would be appreciated.

Cheers
Brian
