Two German bomber crews reported being attacked by 1-2 night fighters. Thanks for this OdB.

Hi,
I found out that there was a claim for destruction of Do 17 over Dorset that night. Any details? Best regards Robert |

Nothing in any book Robert. This would have been 604's territory and although patrolling that night, no contacts and claims. I have a private 87 Sqn diary which I will have a look at later

@Stig Something like AIR22.
Many thanks in advance Chris, crew of KG55 that went down during this night claimed to have been attacked by a night fighter and some of them were wounded by machine-gunfire. Best regards Robert |
