Hi guys

17/12/39
19/12/39
1/3/420
2/3/40
7/3/40
18/3/40
20/3/40
16/4/40
12/5/40
15/5/40
9/6/40
20/6/40
15/7/40
1/8/40
10/8/40
16/8/40
22/10/40

Any help will be of great assistance.
Cheers
Brian

Re: KG26 operations 1940

Hi
Do you have any details about 4/KG on sept 6th 1940.
I understand that II/KG 26 was stationedb in Amien (some say in Holland at Gilze Rijen airbase but one aircraft of 4/KG 26 tried to land at Schiphol! Any details about an incident in the KTB?
regards
dick

Hi JPB

Was KG26 involved on any of the dates listed? That's what I am endeavouring to establish.

Cheers
Brian

Re: KG26 operations 1940

hi,
you can also take a look into "die dunklen jahre" by alexander steenbeck. it is a book about the airport of luebeck-blankensee, the homebase of kg 26. lots of information and photos about the men and their machines. i liked it very much, although it is in german.
all the best
jim

Re: KG26 operations 1940

Thanks Jim

I'm sure both books are excellent, but all that I am endeavouring to establish is whether KG26 claimed ships sunk on the dates I listed.

Perhaps that information is not available.

Cheers
Brian
