Re: Luftwaffe losses Aegean September 1943
Hi Brian,
I am going to visit Kos on May 22nd for a day. I just wanna see around and talk to the fishermen (if they are around) to ask for the aircraft wrecks. All I know is that a Turkish fisherman surfaced a wing section in early 2000's from the strait between Kos and Turgutreis. Let me know what I can do more for you there. Good night, batur |

Re: Luftwaffe losses Aegean September 1943
Hi batur
Thanks for the offer of help. Actually, I have been to Kos (for a week) and also Rhodes (for a week). I cannot immediately think of anything to ask of you, but you never know...! Have a great day Cheers Brian |

Re: Luftwaffe losses Aegean September 1943
When I lived on Rhodes the local fishermen told me that a JU52 was in the water off the south end of the island.
