What is a "Schienwerferflug" - Flight Log Entry
Hey guys...
I have a Flight Book from an He111 and Do17 pilot who flew in both France, and on the Eastern Front. 80% of the sorties show a "Schienwerferflug" as the type of mission. These were not training missions at all. The only thing I can think of is possibly denoting a lead aircraft that would light up the bombing targets at night (by dropping flares and such)... OR This was a Do17 Z-10 Kauz II, with the infrared searchlight to illuminate the target...?? or am I totally wrong here? Thoughts? TIA Mike
