However, this seems a little at odds with another source (http://www.luftwaffeinprofile.se/Hur...09%20%204.html) which refers to 'a large group of BF 109s from JG 54, of which 11 were carrying bombs'.

Unfortunately neither writer quotes a source nor identifies the Bf 109's base.

Hi all,

on this link is described, that Hurricane of Sergeant Josef Frantisek was claimed by Leutnant Max-Helmuth Ostermann. Accoording my information, Sergeant Josef Frantisek perished in crash caused by possible airbone indiscipline. Are there new information about this loss? Have somebody more info about Ostermann claim of this Hurricane?

Thanks
