Re: Civil Airliner losses Battle of France
Guys
This one is tricky but very interesting. Now if we cannot locate an "unknown" DC-3 we simply have to look at the same aircraft. OO-AUI is thus a very likely candidate. However what I would like to know is why the Germans blow up the aircraft. I cannot vouch for the two photos Peter came up with saying "24 Sq 23.5.40", but the one I supplied show it with German soldiers and if the two Peter supplied were taken at the same time, they all show a pretty much intact aircraft, certainly not hit by AA-fire. But why blow up such a useful aircraft? From the photos supplied of the highly damaged airframe the whole nose-section is gone! I must confess I still have a nagging worry we might look at two different aircraft....  Cheers Stig
