Re: Aircrew from I/ZG 76
Hello,
Can anyone supply information and picture of Ernst Kalinowski. He shot down a Short Stirling from 7 Sqn (W7430) on the 2nd June 1941.
It was believed this was the first or one of the firat 4 enginged bombers to be shot down. I am assisting the son of Sergeant William Stanley Bellew, a WOP/AG aboard this bomber it was his first op and the crew survived to become POWs.
The bomber according to 7 Sqn was shot down on its approach to Berlin at 02:43am in flames crashed 10 km SW of Beelitz.
Any info on the raid and incident and whether Ernst survived the war will be of assistance.
Regards
Ian
