Re: The Bf 109 losses in Spanish Civil War: verified and unverified

A small correction to the loss list of Bf 109´s presented in post 1:

17.7.1937 Escalona: Bf 109 "6-9"? (Handrick?) shot down by I-16 - it is strange that this is not mentioned as a air combat incident in Laureau´s book Condor - if Handrick was really shot down, it should be included in a standard work on Legion Condor! It appears that this refers actually to Handrick´s emergency landing at Escalona on 17.7.1937 which was caused by engine failure. As far as I know, Gotthard Handrick was not shot down by enemy during SCW.

Tinker´s claim of Bf 109 on 17.7.1937 - taking above in account this can only be "6-14" (Haarbach) shot down on 18.7.1937. Despite the one day difference with Tinker´s claim and Legion Condor records it does not rule out the possibility that Tinker´s claim is legitimate.

Happy New Year,
GC
