Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

How should I understand the word "night" in the sentence "15 crews of which 6 night" ? ... It is interesting to compare this sentence with a picture's back coming from an old auction. The corresponding photo depicting one of the two Bf109 photographed at Florennes. You can read "Nite kite". Is there a relation between "6 night" and "nite kite" ? Next, at the bottom of same back it is written 9/11/44... Ho should I read it? 11 September or 9 November ? (bis.) Regards, Franck. Last edited by ouidjat; 31st May 2019 at 07:05. |

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes
I understand it as 6 crews qualified in night flying Recce (using flares, flash bombs etc.)

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes
I read "nite fighter" — but Americans spell "night" the same way the British do so that isn't a firm clue to the writer's nationality.

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes
This I understood
But why do you think the guy thought one Bf109 was a Night Fighter? |
