Landing without wheels, aircraft heavy damaged, pilot, Mjr Erich Sommer safe.
The plane's hydraulics had always been troublesome and the main wheels would not come down, then it was caught in a severe crosswind. Sommer's damaged Arado remained on the airfield, replacement machines arrived and so he fulfilled subsequent assignments with Arnold's T9+FH.
