Luftwaffe in Iraq

Thanks Guys

Yes I have Dust Clouds in the Middle East

I was thinking more about the front-line aeroplanes, but does anyone have the actual losses suffered in Iraq INCLUDING the Ju 52??

Cheers

Stig,

According to 'Eagle in flames' the operation cost '19 combat aircraft and two transports', but has no further details.

Martin Drewes, a night-fighter ace is the sole survivor from the Irak mission. He talks about this mission in his book, "Sombras da Noite" from Adler Editora.

Hello Stig,

Have you looked in on the LEMB site ?

There is a wealth of photos and some info on the Iraqi event there.

Thanks Guys

I have most of the sources quoted. What I was after were the WNr for the lost aeroplanes. Were they never recorded??
