Re: eBay: Allied intrest
Post 3310 # 2 looks like Blenheim R2780/YH-A of 21 Sqn.
It was abandoned at Almyros in Greece, rather than France as the seller states. |

Re: eBay: Allied intrest
The B-17G is interesting, 42-38017 (349/100) was damaged believed by 2 B-17s shot down above her on Mission 246 to Berlin March 3 1944; force-landed at Schleswig-Land airfield by Ju.88s en-route to Sweden, then taken on by 1./KG200 (probably as A3-BB) for short-range ops. carrying agents and supplies. On a mission 3 March 1945 shot down by a night fighter (possibly US) at Luvigny (Vosges).
She was named "One mission LuLu" just before the Berlin mission as the crew's regular B-17 was out of action. Nick |

Re: eBay: Allied intrest
I thought the aircraft shot down as A3+BB on 3 March 1945 was 42-3190?

Re: eBay: Allied intrest
The Fortress Log states 42-38017 was damaged and set on fire by German fighters.
The crew extinguished the fire and headed for Sweden when they were intercepted by Ju 88 fighters and forced to land at Jagel. It was "repaired" by Luftwaffe only to be destroyed a couple of days later, still at Jagel. Cheers Stig |

Re: eBay: Allied intrest
Hi Andy. 42-3190 was an "F" and A3-BB in Stahl's KG200 History (a former member) was a "G" according to a flight log, flying missions 54-60; 42-3190 was Stkz. SJ-KY, later A3-CE as listed in the LEMB database.
42-38017 in a National Archives Report says lost 3 March 45 on operations, Pilot Fhrn. Helmut Schenderlein and 10 crew-passengers killed; a report that she was strafed by Allied fighters before fully repaired was unconfirmed (Stig's post). Possibly coded A3-GE; there were several instances though where 1./2. Staffeln changed codes. Nick |
