KG26 December 1942

[Andre Chissel]

Gentlemen,

I am carrying out some research into the torpedo bombers of KG26

I have bought a copy of Harold Thiele's book 'Luftwaffe Aerial Torpedo Aircraft and Operations' and was thrilled to see that it contains absolutely no references for the information that it contains - marvellous.

What I am after is the source material for Thiele's comments about 21-22 December 1942. He says that 14 aircraft were sent out on 21st and that III/KG26 sent out three aircraft one of which was a torpedo bomber on 22nd but where does Thiele get this information from ?

Can anyone quote me the source references and what they actually say ?

Thanks

Andre

Hello Andre,

sorry no source information, but a general question:
Is this book you mentioned worth for buy?

Hi Darius,

It has its merits, lots of pictures, good general light read on the subject. Very good background on the subject.

However, it is not and cannot be viewed as a 'Bible' of the subject and is not a Research Level book (probably Actung Torpedos Los ! would be a better research book).

I was just hacked off at the lack of an index/reference section.

Hope this helps !

Andre
