Re: The famous 2N+HN stopped by trees...
Robert, I now believe the following details are correct for this crash: 13th May 1940 Bf 110 C-1 2N+HN W. Nr. 2837 Uffz. Schindler (Pilot) Ogefr. Heinze (Bordfunker) Force-landed and crashed into trees on edge of field near La Roche-en-Ardenne. Damage %age not known. Both crew survived. Thanks for your help in working this one out.

Re: The famous 2N+HN stopped by trees...
To all those involved, congratulations for the amazing thread!
Some 20-25 years ago, this would be almost impossible. Computers, Internet and Forums like this one do give the opportunity to discover and match events of 79 years ago... John Vasco, I had some of your books and your work on this thread and on the books I have read is amazing. Keep going! Again, an amazing thread and piece of History! A. |

Clint, It's been something of a long haul trying to identify date and place, but with the Flugbuch pages on page 1 of this thread, coupled with writing on the reverse of a photo, I think we have got there. There was also, as you point out, the in-depth consideration over quite a period of time regarding the W. Nr. also. I think we can all take satisfaction from an ultimate job well done.

Re: The famous 2N+HN stopped by trees...
I have a question: why mods deleted an important statement of Clint Mitchell?

It was a private dispute between one member and another which the poster was asked to pursue through private means. Unfortunately he appeared unreceptive to this request.
