Re: Hurricane - forced landing Saudi Arabia - April 1942
For anyone trying to follow this, the letter about Saczewski is on page 43 of 118 on the link given by Leendert. But if you skip ahead to page 47 you learn that 3 other Hurricanes landed at 0935 on the morning of the 19th at Ras al Mishab. The rest of the file concerns various efforts to "remove" these four Hurricanes. It appears Saczewski's may have been flown out, but other three are eventually trucked to Kuwait after some difficulties.
I wonder if all four were part of a ferry flight (to Iraq??) that went astray. |
