A ?? RE: Rollwage's injury of 10 Nov 1942
I just finished (re)reading Brian Cull's 'Spitfires over Malta' & came across an interesting entry: Herbert Rollwage of II/JG53 was injured in a 'deadstick' landing on 10 November, 1942; he crashedlanded at a place called 'Koufonisi'; however, at the time, supposedly II/JG53 was involved in escorting aerial transports flying from Sicily to North Africa; however Koufonisi is in the Cyclades Island group in the Aegean Sea off Eastern Greece---that is WAY off the 'Sicily to North Africa' path...was a portion of II/JG53 diverted to Greece or is there ANOTHER island called Koufonisi somewhere off the Tunis/Sicily?
thanks, ahead of time NickM PS: I don't have the time to get Priens' History of JG53 loaned in to my local library at this time; |
