I'm looking for eye-witness or participant accounts from both the German and British sides relating to the raid on Wilhelmshaven (Shillig Roads) on 04.09.39 by Blenheims and Wellingtons. This was the first significant raid on Germany of the war, resulting in several Blenheims and two Wellingtons shot down by flak and fighters. This is for a major combat painting on this subject by "Eagles Over Europe" Art Director Jack Fellows.

47 Squadron ORB states that F/O Nichol and his navigator W/O Ball arrived on the Squadron on 6 December 1943, and failed to return from an operation on the next day, 7 December.

No initials, no forenames, no service numbers. I can't find them on CWGC so presumably POWs.

Any ideas?

Hello,

I found this info into the war diary of the Flugzeugführerschule B-15, a German flying school located on the Bourges airfield, France: “In the night of 6/7 May 1944, around 3 hours, the airfield was attacked by a lone fighter-bomber which dropped two medium bombs on the taxiways near the air traffic control building and which caused some minor damages with its weapons.” This night there, several Mossie were sent for Intruder missions and I am looking for the involved Squadron. Perhaps ORB of well-known Intruder RAF units (like No. 418 or 605 Sqns) refer to something for that night?

Coastal Dawn:

In 1940, the defence of Great Britain rested with a handful of volunteer aircrew, Churchill's 'few'. Overshadowed in later folklore by the more famous Spitfire and Hurricane pilots, there were other pilots, observers and air gunners - just as courageous - flying the Bristol Blenheim MKIV-F.
The future of the country and arguably that of the free world depended also on their skill, morale and sacrifice. Remarkably little has been chronicled of these men and their aircraft - the 'Trade Protection' squadrons formed by Hugh Dowding - allotted to 11 Group in October 1939. The aircraft's range and endurance made it suitable for defence of coastal shipping against attack on the southern and eastern shores of Britain, and for operations further afield.
Indeed during bitter fighting casualties among Numbers 235, 236, 248 and 254 Squadron Blenheims were high on operations over Norway, Holland, France, Dunkirk and then the Battle of Britain where the Blenheims were completely outclassed by Messerschmitt 109 and 110 fighters and fell easy victims, scythed from the sky. But the record of the aircraft and their crew was an immensely proud one.
Drawing on contemporary diaries, periodicals, letters, logbooks, memoirs and interviews with survivors, lauded historian Andy Bird reassesses the vital role they played and repositions it in history. In doing so, he justifiably embraces the heroes we have left behind. ]]> Books and Magazines andy bird http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/showthread.php?t=29813
