Thanks Nick for checking
Daniel
I am not (as far as I know) privy to any "clear" photo of the incident as such.
Can you either post this photo or refer to where you have seen it?
Obviously Jan Horn does not agree with me.
I pulled Jan's book from the shelf and at least I read page 284 as him saying
WNr 170053 rote 1 and a Me 262 A-1a since he refers to this machine as damaged west of Landshut 6 Feb 1945.
However I still think he is wrong with regard to the actual WNr damaged/written off on that date. It is his interpretation no doubt of WNr 11053.
Looking at page 296 (under 11 April) I cannot see any WNr 170090, I only read
Lt Strate as taking off in WNr 170053 which corresponds pretty exactly with what
Nick has given from his eminent diggings in British archives (thanks agan Nick!!)
Just like everyone else Jan is perfectly entitled to his interpretation (he writes excellent books - unfortunately in German...
), but in this case my bet is still on WNr 110530.
So Daniel
Over to you!
Cheers
