Hi all,

Ogefr Josef Biesenbach of KGr 806 went MIA December 1942 in the MTO. Does anyone have more info on this (date, plane, rest of crew).

Thanks in advance,
Rudi.

Indeed 1941 and not 1942. Sorry for the typo.

Thanks for the info, Jim. Very much appreciated.

Regards,
Rudi.

Hi Rudi

Hurricanes from Malta claimed two Ju88s, so probably Lessner's aircraft included.

Cheers
Brian
