Re: Luftwaffe Losses in Austria booklet

David!

Have to correct my last message. Ground losses are included, but non of yours are in the book, but that doesn't mean that there were no losses at these days. If you have more infos it would be great for the author.

Cheers, Simon

Re: Luftwaffe Losses in Austria booklet

Hi Simon

Cheers for the replay I have no info on any Luftwaffe losses for the Day Ranger to Vienna by 605 Sqn RAF on the 7-10-44. All I have is the Sqn ORB AND Combat report. Do you know of any Luftwaffe Ground losses due to RAF strafing attacks in Austria ?
Thanks
David

Re: Luftwaffe Losses in Austria booklet

Hi Simon,

Since one of the Me 262s from Innsbruck is pictured on the cover is it safe to assume that it along with the other 262s found there are also listed?
Is this also true of Salzburg? Thanks,

Walt

Re: Luftwaffe Losses in Austria booklet

Poor Simon, soon you will need to publish a booklet to explain the contents of the booklet you are selling now.
By now my Euros should have arrived there and I hope to soon see my own copy of what sounds like an excellent booklet.
All the best,
George

Re: Luftwaffe Losses in Austria booklet

Indeed George, hope you will get your copy as fast as possible.

I see there is a huge demand and interst on that subject, because nothing comparable was published before. But I'm not really in the position to answer all your questions, because I'm not the writer of that booklet. I just have done 2 colour artwork for it, and that's it.

I try to answer all your questions as good as I can, but if not, please show understanding.

To the Me 262 on the front cover. It's only one of serveral Me 262 pictures in that booklet. In the losses list just one Me 262 is listed (I./KG 54).

I have a preview for all of you showing the He 162 profile I have done for that booklet. It's also published on www.rlm.at website. Go here to see and read more: http://www.rlm.at/start_e.htm?cont/profil12_e.htm&1

Nice Greetings from Vienna,
Simon

Re: Luftwaffe Losses in Austria booklet

Today I received my copy of the book. It's just what I've expected: pages and pages of detailed loss lists, spiced at the end with a few photos, printed on landscape format.
Despite what the authors' claim, many photos are known (to me). However, some appeare to be unpublished, indeed. Same for the listings, many loss data are taken from published sources, but many appear to be extracted from primary sources. Unfortunately (for me), not a single Hs 129 appears in the lists...
At the end, it was money well spent. As an added bonus, it would have been ideal if the authors would have offered an electronic format of the database - for a nominal extra cost - so the columns could be rearranged/sorted alphabetically/numerically.
