Can you give the locations of the three Ju86's lost to enemy action on 24.05.44, the losses may have been reported late ?. 418 Sqnclaimed a Ju 86 at Greifswald A/F on the 02-05-44 and two LeO.45's on the21-05-44 S of Horning,Denmark(poss two of yourJu86's?).

Thanks David

The claim for 2 Leo near Herning 21.05,44, was in fact one He 219 A Wnr. 190107 G9+FL from I/NJG 1. Uffz Tampke and Uffz Tants both killed. Another case of overclaming.

David and mhuxt,

Thanks for the clarifiction on the claims, has anyone been able to trace the He177 in Kubitzen Bay.
I have the reports for a previous 418 Sqd. mission on 27th Jan 1944 and had been able to trace the claims from an article in Avions Magazine,

Regards
