Hi,

another I/ZG1 kill is Fokker T-V from BomVA No.855 shot down over North Sea at 06... in the morning. Also Fokker D-XXI No. 2-1 JAVA no.216 was shot down by Bf110 some time earlier (05...) and crashed near to Den Deyl.
On the 11.05.40 Bf110s shot down another T-V from BomVA No.850 and two D-XXI, this time from 2-2 JAVA, no.229 (c/l) and 213.

Regards

Robert

There are several books on the air war over Holland, they are however in Dutch, which might pose a problem. Also most of them are out of print and not easy to find.

The author Ab A. Jansen wrote most of the titles you are after.

Fliegerhorst Schiphol, Wespennest Leeuwarden en Sporen aan de Hemel. Also Nooit was het Stil, records much of the fighting over the Netherlands. These (multi volume) books together would give you a pretty good history on the air fighting over my native country.

EDIT: for the fighting prior and during the 1940 invasion, Luchtverdediging and Illusies en Incidenten are a must.

Robert: incredible info, but we dont know dates of I./ZG 1 claims...

But even if this could be found, is it impossible to find earlier notes of unit?

Are there alive veterans of I./ZG 1? Does they hav theyr oun memorybooks?

.... So hard there in West...

Ruy - is it possible to find it & translate it? How can anybody caould purchase even scans or copyes of those books?

With best wishes, Evgenij.
