In terms of men and planes lost, the missions to Friedrichshafen (18 Mar 1944), Gotha (24 Feb 1944), and Berlin (29 Apr 1944) were the worst of the 285 missions the 392nd flew: 29 planes were destroyed, 135 airmen were killed, 127 were captured (with two dying while POWs), 26 were interned and 1 successfully evaded capture. The presumably London-based company pretends to be associated with ZF Friedrichshafen AG (ZF Group) and asks students to make advance payments for health insurance and apartment rentals. Please take note that this is apparently a fraudulent activity not associated with ZF.
The location is excellent, 30 seconds walk from Friedrichshafen Stadt railway station/bus station and the same from the Friedrichshafen waterfront walk. Along this walk, the old town is a ten minute stroll away. Breakfasts were very good and staff attentive at getting customers' hot drinks. Friedrichshafen - Weather warnings issued 14-day forecast.

Flugzeugbau Friedrichshafen GmbH was a German aircraft manufacturing company.
Overview[edit]
The company was founded in 1912 in Friedrichshafen, Germany by Theodor Kober who had previously worked for the Zeppelin company. The town, which is located by the Bodensee, was already famous in aviation circles as the place where Zeppelin airships were built. During the First World War, Flugzeugbau Friedrichshafen mainly built seaplanes for the Marine-Fliegerabteilung units of the Imperial German Navy, and a highly successful series of land based medium bombers for the Imperial Air Service under the aegis of head designer Karl Gehlen.
After the Armistice, the company took over the old Zeppelin shed at Manzell. They would also start production in Weingarten and Warnemünde. When the company failed in 1923, their production facilities were taken over by Dornier Flugzeugwerke.
