JG53 Bf109-Collided with flak emplacement!
Hello all.
Has anyone got the pilot details for the following incident please?
On the 9th of August 1940, a Bf109 E-1 from I./JG53 crashed at Guernsey Aerodrome due to engine failure during a sortie. The aircraft collided with a light flak emplacement and 3 gunners were killed and 2 injured!
I have some names from graves at the Fort George German war cemetary on Guernsey which probably account for the lost gunners. However, can anyone provide pilot details: apparently he was badly injured in the crash.
Thanks in advance....Steve.
