1. So, the Germans attacked Bari again 11 days after the first successfull raid, against an already alerted opponent and using Greek-based planes that dindn't took part at the first raid? Wasn't it too risky?

2. Psara are located 800km away from Bari. Was such "navigation errors" common to the experienced Luftwaffe personell these days?

By the way, what is the meaning of F.,B.,BF.,and BS. before the rank of the crew ? Do you have any link to reference?
