Re: Battle of france help wanted
Phil,

That definitely falls within the parameters of the EOE project, but is far too vague to spend any significant time researching this. Is this based on a photo? If so, can you post it? What was the condition of the aircraft--a forced-landing, a full crash, did it burn out? All of the clues which could make a search productive are missing here. What more can you give us as clues?

Regards

you might need a metal detector to find the needle, but Peter Cornwell's The Battle of France: Then and Now has a daily listing of aircraft losses during the battle - using the comprehensive index, you could check the pages where each of the losses from Ju 87 units are listed til you find the one that matches your quest.

I was with Peter Cornwell a couple of days ago and he is such a nice chap! His book really is a must have!

As a side note, Peter should be on TV this Friday on "The One Show" at 7pm.
