Bf109 F-4 W.Nr 8694 recovered.

[Rottler]

Hello MS,

in the loss table of III./JG 27 in Jagdfliegerverbände Vol. 11/I the Bf 109 F WNr. 8694 is listed as 60% damaged on 27 Feb 1943 at Kastelli/Crete.
According to Jagdfliegerverbände Vol. 12/I the WNr. of the JG 5 aircraft was 8594.
In the GQM loss returns are divergent informations:
27 Feb 1943 loss WNr. 6697 and 18 Mar 1943 loss WNr. 8694.

Regards
Leo

Hi Leo,

Thanks for this.

Definitely not Crete. Must be a typo.

8694 was definitely lost 18th March 43 with JG5. F4 Trop as well.

Still need to know what she was doing in 1942.

regards,

MS
