Feldwebel Herbert Franke - 13 July 1943
Hi guys
I have read that this 14 victory ace of I./JG 53 was among a group of seven pilots traveling to Vibo Valentia on an He 111 twin-engined bomber when the aircraft attempted to land during a bombing raid and ended in the Tyrrhenian Sea on 13 July 1943. All on board were injured and he remained in hospital at Naples until February 1944. I have looked through the online QM 6 files but without success as I have no idea which unit this aircraft belonged to. Is there any additional information on this incident? Horrido! Leo

Feldwebel Herbert Franke - 13 July 1943
Hi John
Many thanks for your invaluable help! I could find the entry in the QM 6 file and noticed that the details included there were quite different from the information that I had on this incident ... Please have a great weekend! Horrido! Leo
