The book is Heinze Knoke's "I Flew for the Fuhrer. He details his belly landing on a Norwegian Lake on March 6, 1942. There is a photo of his 109E on its belly on the lake in the book. His flight was 30 minutes out from Aalborg to Fornebu(Oslo) when he bellied in. It doesn't say if the plane was recovered.

He also mentions another 109E going through the ice during a forced landing on the Lymp Fjord.

Thought I'd add to the dreaming
