16 July 42 II./KG40 ac damage
On 16 July 42 Lt. Wilhelm Schmitter, flying with II./Kampfgeschwader 40, attacked the Leamington armaments factory and the Do.217 he was piloting was damaged by Flak which resulted in Schmitter receiving the wound badge in black for shell splinter wounds.
My question is does anyone have a Wr Nr. on this Do.217 and is there any evidence of additional crew being wounded, amount/% of ac damage?? The mission took place between 04:45 and 07:32 hours. Regards Jeremy Last edited by Spanferkel; 23rd January 2010 at 22:31.

Re: 16 July 42 II./KG40 ac damage
I could not find anything about the damage to the Do217. However the Home Office Key Points report states ' Early in the morning of the 16th a single enemy plane raided the works of Automotive Products Ltd., at Lemington Spa, causing extensive blast and minor structural damage '.
