Crash site photos of 1st British Victory in France during WWII
Hello,
Regarding the following entry, I''m seeking contemporary photos of the wreckage site, or any souvenirs recovered from the wreckage for the EoE Project. Can anyone provide same or steer me to a source for this? According to our revised EoE Luft Loss DB: October 30, 1939: 2.(F)/123 Dornier Do17P-1. Shot down by P/O Mould of No.1 Squadron during photo-reconnaissance sortie south-west of Toul. Crashed and exploded at Traveron, north of Sauvigny, 2.45 p.m. (Ff) Hptmn Baldüin von Normann und Audenhove (Staffelkapitän), (Beo) Oberlt Hermann Heisterbergk, and (Bf) Fw Friedrich Pfeuffer killed. Aircraft 4U+BK 100% write-off. First enemy aircraft shot down over France by the RAF since 1918. Subject of post-war excavation when the remains of both BMW 132N radial engines were unearthed together with three corroded propeller blades, undercarriage unit, and various assorted relics and components. Regards, Larry Hickey EoE Project Coordinator |
