Re: Luftwaffe Long Range in Atlantic Summer 1942
Thanks Chris. This is what I understand and was just trying to put logical words to the situation.
I can say that Luftwaffe records for ths period show no claims in this area and the presence of German long range aircraft at this time in this area would be unusual.
What this stems from is some relatives I'm in contact with use the term 'shot down' for their relatives who died in Fery Command ops. Its not that they think they were shot down, its just their natural expectation/belief that the person was lost through German action. I want to provide some explanation of the cause being technical problems with the aircraft being ferried.
Similar to everyone flying Lancasters, until they find out the person died on a Stirling or Halifax.
