KG27 Heinkel losses.

[steve sheridan]

Hi guys,
As part of my ongoing research on KG27, i am looking for help in clarifying further information on losses sustained late 1940.
Looking for squadron codes, crew names, Staffel confirmation etc.

I am desparately trying to obtain Walter Waiss's KG27 Chronik series, but i am lead to believe that the earlier copies , are now out of print ?
Any info on the a/c below, most appreciated.

1.11.40 W.Nr 2629 25% damaged,
20.11.40 W.Nr 2606 80% damage,
28.11.40 W.Nr 1399 40% damage,
28-29.11.40 W.Nr 2650 100% crashed nr Rouen,
4-5.12.40 W.Nr 1360 100% A/c abandoned nr Lorient
11.12.40 W.Nr 1989 100% Crashed nr Chartres .

Best Regards,
Steve.

Please give me your e-mail address, I'll forward it to Mr. Waiss - AFAIK the books are still available directly from him.
