Hello Nick

It was interesting to read your question regarding the incident in which Naumann suffered an engine explosion while attempting to intercept one of the early USAAF raids. I came across the same reference as well while researching my thumbnail biography on him but was unable to find any corresponding entry in the loss list included in the JG 26 War Dairies. If this event did occur then perhaps the damage was insufficient for the incident to have been included in the loss returns or this particular loss was one of those that for whatever reason were not included in the loss returns. Hopefully someone else can shed additional light on what happened.

Horrido!

Leo
