Help with Flugbuch Please
Hi guys
Can anyone read the attached comment in Willi Gaul's Flugbuch shown for 22.12.42 referring to Cognac? The aircraft involved is a Ju88 of Stab, III./KG40. Thank you Tim O. Last edited by Tim O.; 7th July 2015 at 20:10. |

@ Tim,
it reads: "Motorbrand Cognac brennend abgestürzt" (Engine on fire Cognac crashed in flames). Best Regards Norbert

Re: Help with Flugbuch Please
Hi Norbert
Thank you very much indeed. Fantastic help. As a matter of interest, although Oberleutnant Willi Gaul was flying the aircraft, Hauptmann Robert Kowalewski (Ritterkreuzträger and Gruppenkommandeur III./KG40) was acting as observer on this flight. The aircraft was Ju88 F8+ED. Best wishes Tim O. |
