Need info on three 9./KG76 Do17Z crewmen shot down into the Channel on 18 August 1940
Hello,
According to our EoE Luft Loss List: August 18, 1940: 9./KG76 Dornier Do17Z-2. Port engine disabled by ground defences during low-level attack on Kenley and further damaged in attacks by No.111 Squadron Hurricanes 1.30 p.m. Ditched in the Channel off Étampes during return flight. FF Uffz [ ] Schumacher and two NCOs took to dinghy and rescued unhurt, BM Fw Fritz Gaiser missing. Aircraft 100% write-off. Need the first name of Uffz Schumacher and the full names and crew positions of the two NCOs that took to the dinghy with him and were rescued. On that same mission: "9./KG76 Dornier Do17Z-3. Damaged during low-level attack on Kenley and flew back on one engine to belly-land near Abbeville. FF Fw [ ] Reichel unhurt, BM Uffz Albert Haas slightly wounded in both legs - admitted to hospital in Pontoise, Sonderführer Rolf von Pebal (of Kr.Ber.Komp.4) and rest of crew unhurt. Aircraft F1+CT 60% damaged - write-off." Does anyone know the first name of F1 Reichel or the names of the other crewmen aboard this a/c? Who can help? Regards, Larry Hickey EoE Project Coordinator Last edited by Larry Hickey; 17th October 2012 at 07:18. Reason: Added material |
