Re: Luftwaffe Flak Reichsverteidigung queries 1942
Dear all -and especially Horst,
Would you be able to check in the book Archäologie des Zweiten Weltkriegs - Flugzezugabstürze in Hagen the entry for 75 Squadron Wellington BJ625 (prob. crashed at Neuss) and/or 57 Sqn Wellington BJ830 (hit by Flak and crashed at Hagen, Philipshöhe ca. 03.30 hrs). Both lost during the 11-12 August 1942 Mainz raid.
Of the crash site of either of these aircraft, two photos were published in Martin Middlebrook's Bomber Command War Diaries, page 402. I would like to have confirmation of the correct identity of the Wellington shown in these crash photos.
Cheers and thanks, Theo
