At a roadblock with researching bf109 E7, I don't think I know what resources to use, if you could help it would be very appreciated

[Epiccow400]

Trying to gather all info on bf109 e7 yellow 5 wk.nr 4093 of JG5
here's what I have so far

•Shot down by AA in Kola Bay north of Murmansk on May 25, 1942
•Pilot was Friedrich Dahn who went MIA

This is really all I have come across and I am trying to find past flights/events. I think I am just not looking in the right places. If you could help me or steer me in the right direction I would be very grateful, Thanks.

Books about jg5 Eismeer would seem a starter.

I asked my son to check the index. He can't do any looking himself as he headed into another mining camp a few hours later

Not Baltimore but Maryland. The Maryland (aka Martin 167) served on the opposite side too, in French service, bombing Allied forces in North Africa and the Middle East.
