Recon flight to Sevastopol July 1941
Does anyone have complete details on all Luftwaffe RECON and Strategic flights to Sevastopol on July 23,1941 and July 25,1941 ?
So far there is only one I know of 3.(F) 121 DO-215 , Luftwaffe historical books and Russian
WWII avia data bases listing the flight on July 25,1941 and other books such as From Odessa
to Barbarossa Volume I listing this flight as missing on July 23,1941. A Black Sea Naval Air Fleet
pilot was involved in intercepting a Luftwaffe flight on 23.7.1941 who later on was listed as MIA
during an air battle with an unknown enemy 95 Km West Katcha Bay....which plots in my mind the location
of the DO-215 of 3.(F) 121 of Kommando Rowehl Group ,they sent a distress signal from this location at 08:00 am
to Constanza after departing from Bacau / Focsani or Rosiorii de Vede airfields Romania at O5:20 am .
The folowing campaign of SAR of Notstaffel 8 from Mamaia ,Romania remained fruitless.
My questions :
1, what was the correct flight date of this DO-215 ?
2. What were the other flight dates of Luftwaffe or Romanians if any whatsoever on July 1941 to Sevastopol ?
Thanks in advance
