He 177 A-1 (E8+FH)
Hallo,
What was the fate of this machine? Was it lost in action (accident due to weather)? Is there a werknummer for that code E8+FH? Which was the full crew? All KIA? A. |

Surely the unit was I./FKG 50? Cheers Stig |

Re: He 177 A-1 (E8+FH)
It certainly wasn’t NSG 9, which inherited the E8 code in November 1943! This change confused RAF Intelligence at first because they only knew of its use by FKG 50.

Chris, my interest was only this first KG 50 crew loss and particularly Major Scheede's crew.
Sorry about the delay in answering you back....quite busy lately... A. |
