5./KG4 Heinkel He111P-4 (2868). Crashed and burned out at Eindhoven due to engine failure on take-off on sortie to England 2.15 a.m. Lt Willi Diesel, and Fw Wilhelm Jäger killed. Uffz Alwin Engel badly injured, admitted to Binnensiekenhaus in Eindhoven. Fw Walter Lehmann slightly injured, also admitted to hospital in Eindhoven. Aircraft 5J+EN a write-off.

Hey guys, it is typical for this book to report individual aircraft crashes such as this. Interesting enough, I am looking for a crash for an Observer from the same staffel for Sept 7 '40.

Thanks,
David
