Re: Bf 109 F-4 WNr 8904
Hi.
Haven't got all my references here, but... The GQM loss list state that the loss percentage for the aircraft is to follow - 'folgt' Also, the VLM for Mendl does not imply a 100% aircraft loss, in fact the aircraft is not mentioned at all in the VLM. Also, the report state that Mendl was only lightly wounded in the head by MG fire. Will have to consult some more references, but I do think we have to go a few rounds on this one. Regards, Andreas B
