Luftwaffe losses to CAM-ships 1941-43
Hi guys
Following the recent interesting posts regarding Fw200 losses to Audacity's Wildcats in late 1941, can anyone put flesh on bones regarding Cam-ship operations, when mainly FW200s were encountered. I list the ones about which I have some record: 28/4/41 FW200 shot down by CAM-ship Patia, which was also sunk during the attack with the loss of 38 lives. 10/6/41 Fulmar from Pegasus claimed FW200 possibly damaged. 18/7/41 FW200 shot down by Norman Prince. 3/8/41 FW200 shot down by Hurricane from Maplin 26/8/41 FW200 possibly damaged by Fulmar from Ariguani 14/9/41 FW200 possibly damaged by Hurricane from Maplin. 25/5/42 Ju88 shot down by Hurricane from Empire Morn (Convoy PQ16) He111, He111 damaged by Hurricane from Empire Lawrence (PQ16) 14/6/42 FW200 possibly damaged by Hurricane from Empire Morn 18/9/42 He111, He111 damaged by Hurricane from Empire Morn (PQ18) 1/11/42 FW200 shot down by Hurricane from Empire Heath 28/7/43 FW200 shot down by Hurricane from Empire Darwin FW200 shot down by Hurricane from Empire Tide It would also be interesting to learn serial numbers of Hurricanes/Fulmars involved in these combats, in addition to names of Luftwaffe crews/units/markings etc. Thanks in advance Brian |

Wasn't there a book published a few years ago about CAM-ship operations? |

Yes, John, but it doesn't contain details from the Luftwaffe side, but thanks anyway.
Yes please Christian - any information on the Luftwaffe crews and aircraft identities is what I am mainly after. Cheers Brian |

Re: Luftwaffe losses to CAM-ships 1941-43
All I have from notes off the Loss Lists plus books/articles are:-
28/4/41 - 29-4-41? F8+HH w.n.0054 crew of Oblt. Roland Schelcher four dead two missing, fell off the Shetlands to enemy Zestorer (aircraft or ship ?). 18-7-41 - F8+AB (SG+KS) w.n 0043 crew of Hpt Fritz Fliegel missing was about to be attacked by Cam Ship Hurricane when wing blown off by ships AA. 3-8-41 - F8+CL wn 0066 damaged by Cam Ship Hurricane crash-landed France two dead one inj. 1/11/42 - 31-10-42? F8+DS wn 0070 crew of Oblt. Arno Grad missing. 28-7-43 F8+FK wn 0177 crew of Ofw. Woschek missing . The account I read said the Condor crew were watching out for two Cam Ship Hurricanes scrambled against them when they were attacked by a B24 of 480 ASG flown by 1/Lt Hyde. and forced to ditch. Some of this is from quite old sources so any corrections welcome, hope it is of some help, Regards Brian Bines |
