Do217 II/KG40 lost 21 August 1941 and 5 February 1942
Can anyone give me details of this aircraft, lost after an attack by a 257 Squadron Hurricane off Lowestoft at 2110 (Fighter Command War Diaries Vol.2)
I am also looking for details of a second Do217 of 5./KG40 lost off Spurn Head on 5 February 1942 to Hurricanes of 253 and Spitfires of 133 Squadrons (FCWD Pt.3) regards Keith |

Hi Stig,
I have quoted the entry in the Verlustmeldung of the Gen.Qu. „99“, which is of course an incomplete Werknummer. In comparison with other Do 217 E-1 losses the complete Werknummer was either 1099 or 5099. Regards Leo |

In the Gen.Qu. loss report from 7 February 1942 No. 6 is listed "Do 217 E-4 5337".
In the correction from 24 February 1942 k) is noted: "Ändere Werknummer 5337 in: 5357". Cheers Leo |

Thanks Leo
Yes it seems it has to be one of those two. Always good with some kind of back up... Cheers Stig |
