...whilst the photos appear to have been scanned from an article I wrote as the originals were given to me by a member of 165 Sqn on the Sqn at the time......

Re: Ju 88 1943 defection to RAF Dyce
Hi Junker
I am writing a book on WW2 around NE Scorland. I am trying to add some pictures to the info I have from the national archives. The crew picturewould be a useful image. The website details tends to mirror info in the RAF miseum website. chris commented on a lot of mistakes a few months back with this aircraft and crew. |

Re: Ju 88 1943 defection to RAF Dyce
There is a lot of errors in this article. Almost everthing about the German crew is wrong (including Schmids first name and place of birth). He did not defect due to his experience in Spain but more due to problems with his CO at Aalborg

Re: Ju 88 1943 defection to RAF Dyce
There is a very good description of this incident at the Website "Aircrews Remembered"
It doesn't make any mention of his Staffel Kapital Aalborg. http://www.aircrewremembered.com/schmid-heinrich.html |

Re: Ju 88 1943 defection to RAF Dyce
The article are filled with errors, so you cant't rely on was is stated in it. It's not based on proper research. I do have Schmid's military personal file, and everything stated on his family relations, in the article, is pure fantasy. And of course he could not fly to England and back without being found out. That is just some of the errors. So if alanatabz is going to write just another article along this line, I will not supply any photos. I have also commented on this incident earlier on this site.
