The white arrow was the unit marking of Schlachtstaffel 20 (Schlasta 20).
Machine was brought down by groundfire.The pilot Uffz. Rudolf Hager was killed and the observer/gunner Uffz.Otto Weber was taken prisoner. Machine came down near Epinonville. Thanks to Rick Duiven and Dan San Abbott for their fantastic book "Schlachtflieger"where I took this information from. Last edited by UPZZZZ; 15 December 2009 at 08:09 AM. |
