Post II/JG53 - Me109 - Information requested

Hello Everyone,

On 10 October'39, A bomber Amiot 143 from GBII/38 performed a "Nickel" mission over Mannerheim. He was intercepted by a Me109 from II/JG53 but the fighter couldn't pursuie the bomber in the night. I don't know whether or not fighting occured during this event

Does anyone knows more information about this event?
Where was located the airfield of the II/JG53?


Cheers

Jerome

Exclamation Re: II/JG53 - Me109 - Information requested

Hello,

Apparently, there is no trace about this event in your books, magazines or in mind.

I presume that II/JG53 uses the Me109E around this date ( 'Sietzkrieg') betther than the Dora type.

If anyone does know general details on this unit II/JG53 - such as airfield, type of aircraft and mission- could you please provide your comments on this?

Cheers
Jerome

During the time of which you speak, II/JG 53 was stationed at Mannheim-Sandhofen, and was equipped with the Bf 109E.
