Do 18G transfer flight late 1941
Can someone verify for me the exact date 0867 - possibly 8L+AL - was lost. I have two different sources with two different dates. The first being 31/10/41 and the second 20/12/41. Both have the a/c listed as being on a transfer flight from Tromso to Banak with an emergency landing due to engine fire. I have no further details on the crew.
Thanks Adam |
