Luftwaffe Do217-E
Sixty-two years after the crash, the body of a Luftwaffe gunner has been recovered from a crashed German bomber in Britain.
A coroner's officer has pieced together details of a doomed mission made by a Luftwaffe bomber after the body of its gunner was found in the remains of his aircraft, shot down 62 years ago.... Franz Huske, 21, was part of a crew on board a Dornier 217-E on its way to bomb Southampton in March 1943 when it was intercepted by RAF Bristol Beaufighters.
The bomber is scheduled to be restored and displayed at a local museum. External Link: Telegraph Article.
