Re: Identity of 3/KG76 crash landing
Chris,
I have five photos of this a/c in the EoE Photo DB. I've tentatively identified these as being, according to the EoE Luft Loss DB: * "3./KG76 Dornier Do17Z. Starboard engine damaged in attacks by Lt Morin of GC III/3 near Mantes-la-Jolie, north-west of Paris, and finally belly-landed in German-held territory near Auxi-le-Château 3.00 p.m. Probably also attacked by Sgt Le Nigen. FF Lt Joachim Hübner badly wounded - died same day, rest of crew unhurt. Aircraft 60% damaged - write-off." |

Chris,
For some reason the bottom portion of my email above was cut off. It continued: "Please note that this ID is only tentative, and, like you, I'd like to get this one identified with certainty." Larry Hickey EoE Project Coordinator |

Re: Identity of 3/KG76 crash landing
Thanks Larry. I have the combat as 6 km north of Mantes at 1600 hrs & crash-landing at Auxi Le Chateau on 5 Jun 40. Photos show that the starboard engine was stopped, damage would appear to be consistent with 60% and that Auxi Le Chateau was a H.Verb.Pl near Jagdang***

Chris,
My post got all botched up. Yes, my best guess is the same 5 June incident that you report. My post didn't make the date clear. Regards, Larry Hickey EoE Project Coordinator |
