Libro sobre la destrucción del convoy (in inglis)
http://www.fpp.co.uk/books/PQ17/2009edition.pdf
En la página 85 (95 en el visor PDF) hay un diagrama de la distribución de los buques.
Luego menciona lo siguiente:
By the time PQ.17 finally sailed, toward the end of June, the German Air Force had amassed a mighty attacking force of aircraft in the vicinity of North Cape under the commanding general of the Fifth Air Force, Colonel-General Stumpff. The armada included 103 twin-engined Junkers 88 bombers, fifteen Heinkel he-115 torpedo-bombers on floats, thirty Junkers 87 divebombers, and seventy-four reconnaissance aircraft, including the four-engined Focke-Wulf 200 – the “Condor” – the Junkers 88 and the Blohm & Voss 138. All forty-two of I./KG.26’s Heinkel 111 torpedo-bombers had also been concentrated at Bardufoss, their training complete. Stumpff thus disposed of 264 operational combat aircraft for the strike.
De hecho, los FW-200 fueron clave para el avistamiento y seguimiento del convoy por lo que he podido leer (en diagonal
)
Hábría que buscar un hidro sustitutivo del He-115, tal vez. Si no hay opciones "fáciles", tal vez el DB-3TP (
