Data derived from many sources. Corrections/Additions welcomed via Helpdesk

NOTE ON DATES: IMPORTANT: For consistency, the Date is given as the date the mission TOOK OFF since the precise time of a loss is not always certain. Take Off date is unambigous and fixed in the official records, but obviously in those cases where the incident occurred before midnight UK time, then the Take Off Date will be the same as the Incident Date. Of course, most Bomber Command missions flew through midnight, therefore a Luftwaffe claim against a plane - or a locally generated crash report - may record the incident as occurring on the day following our Take Off Date. Bear this in mind when cross-referencing to our Luftwaffe Victories by Name/Date Database and other Luftwaffe sources. In some cases other sources may quote the date following our date, using locally generated reports as their source. To add to the potential for confusion, remember to take into account a Luftwaffe recorded date will be in local time, 1 hour ahead of UK time. When we discover a validated Incident Date we change our record if necessary

Bruno Eikmeier, his 1st Abschuss, from 2./NJG1 (detached to 9./NJG4) near Léglantiers some 8 km east of St. Just at 4.200 m at 05:00 hrs (Nachtjagd Combat Archive (30 May - 31 December 1942) The Early Years Part 3 - Theo Boiten). The pilot tried to shake off the night fighter and crashed into a hill. Crashed Leglantiers woods/Vienne Field-Cne de Leglantiers (North) 12km NE of Clermont	PoW No. 27027, Stalag 334			Flt Sgt. Alt PoW report “The a/c was returning from Karlsruhe, height 9000 ft, 10 mls from the French coast, when it was attacked by a Ju88. Effective evasion action was taken during which the height was reduced to 5000 ft. An enemy a/c was sighted on the starboard side and slightly above, so the height was dropped to 500 ft. The port propeller hit a tree and the port motor became unserviceable. The propeller was feathered and an attempt made to climb on one engine. This failed owing to an increase in the height of the ground and we crashed into the brow of a hill. Both Monckton and Logan were killed by the impact, and Holland suffered a fractured collar bone. Both Foley and self were uninjured. The a/c crashed in the vicinity of St Juste, France. I was picked up 6 days later by the Germans.”
