Re: FW200 F8+OK lost 22 October 1940
All

Further to my mail this WNr 0024 is a bit of a mystery.

Nowarra in his Fw 200 book states that
0024 F8+DK with III./KG 40 was 55% lost 27.4.1942 at Orleans

Salgado in his recent book states
0024 F8+OK missing Irish Sea 22.10.1940

Question
If Salgado is correct then what was lost at Orleans 27.4.1942? I know that Nowarra is unreliable although he got better and better. His final books are far more reliable than his early ones. So if I presume Nowarra did not just have fantasy what was really lost on 27.4.42?

Cheers
Stig
