Hpt Alfred Kindler shot down 31.7.42 - what type of aircraft and codes?
Please could anyone tell me the type of aircraft and code letters of his aircraft. I believe he was from K.G.2 and was shot down by flak over Birmingham on the night of 31.7.42.
Thanks
Bryan

Many thanks

Can you tell me where you got the info - book, internet ? Also do you know if the rest of the crew survived ? Did Kindler parachute out ?

Hi there might be of interest but there is a full account of this incident with eye-witness accounts and photos in my book:-
War Torn Skies Cambridgeshire (Redkite Publishing)
Kind regards Julian
