3(F)./122
19 January 1942 (east of Whitby)
Aircraft: Junkers 88A-5 F6+PL w/nr. 440 3(F)./122 Crew: Uffz Franz Fichtinger pilot missing Fw. Gerhard Drassdo observer missing Gefr. Hans Blunck wireless/op missing Gefr. Johann Bauer gunner missing This aircraft failed to return from operations on 19 January 1942. The Luftwaffe Loss Returns do not give the location or the cause of the loss but TheBlitz, then and now, vol 3 (1990) claims that it crashed in the North Sea some twenty miles east of Whitby at 15.30hours. The Junkers is believed to have been shot down by a Spitfire flown by Squadron Leader Tony Lovell DFC, the newly-appointed Commanding Officer of 145 Squadron, Catterick. Can anyone add to this?
