Oblt. Kurt Eichstädt + 25.10.40

[Melvin Brownless]

Hi,

Our society (Aircrew Remembrance Society) has been contacted by the grandson of Kurt Eichstädt (JG26) who was shot down over Sussex on the 25.October 1940. Unfortunately Christian Eichstädt has little information regarding the loss of his grandfather and we were hoping that with this appeal we can give him something for his family research. I believe that Kurt Eichstädt was shot down by P/O J. B. Kendal of No.66 Squadron during combat over Hawkhurst, does anyone have a copy of Kendal's combat report?

Kind regards,

Melvin

Would there be any chance to get a copy or scan of that AiR40/2963 report?

And many thanks for the information!
