Sonderkommando Blaich

The Sonderkommando Blaich (English: Special detail Blaich) was a German special unit consisting of one Heinkel He 111 medium bomber that raided Free French–controlled Fort Lamy in the Chad region of French Equatorial Africa. The raid against a target located 1,250 mi (2,010 km) from the German bases in North Africa was a success but, on its return flight, the German plane ran out of fuel and had to make an emergency landing; both crew and plane were rescued a week later.
