Re: Convoys PQ1 to PQ16 Luftwaffe losses
(Other by B. Bines I agree on, no offence meant ;-) )
I have notes of one was possibly downed by "Hurricat" (catapult Hurricane) of CAM ship Empire Lawrence, possibly the 2061 (i.e. 0880142061 4D+DH) and one by Soviet Curtiss P-40 Warhawk.

(088)1760 Ju 88 A-4 4D+CM 4./KG 30 (Luftflotte 5 West)
OPS (F) belived downed by <enemy> fighter fire (Nordmeer) [over Arctic Ocean/Barentssea near Allied Convoy PQ.16: was downed by Soviet Air Force Curtiss P-40 Warhawk´s] 30.05.1942 (F Oblt. Sigfried Schapp <Sharprff>, B Fw. Herbert Wendt, BF Gefr. Georg Tischler and BS Sdfhr. Alfred Eromin missing)

Best regards
Ed

Re: Convoys PQ1 to PQ16 Luftwaffe losses
B.Bines, I know, but usually very hard to "prove" (the errors), the case here seems simple, if one has the right info!
re III/ KG 30 Ju 88 here...

(088)1020 Ju 88 A-4 III/KG 30 (Luftflotte 5)
OPS (F) engine failures and crashed (100%) at Bardufoss Airfield [Norway] 04.05.1942 (crew uninjured)

Re: Convoys PQ1 to PQ16 Luftwaffe losses
Thanks Brian & Ed

Wow! The info is coming in thick and fast. Excellent!

Two more books to buy (wife permitting!). I'll soon need a larger office/library! Perhaps the garden shed for me!

Cheers
Brian
