Is there more than one issue of the book?
On page 369 in mine only "L1+DN II./LG 1 flown by Fw Herbert Schelm failed to return" is stated
These early books about the Med Air War were unfortunately influenced by one co-author who believed
the German WNr were of no interest. They are thus remarkable for their lack of such details.
No idea from where your WNr 882307 comes from.

Checking Peter Taghon's LG 1 book vol 1 he states the correct WNR to be 3157 making Peter Ach's
observations far more interesting
