Two Heinkel 115's Lost??
 

Hi All,

While on a sortie into the Bay of Biscay on 11 January 1942, Liberator I AM924 D/120 attacked the German blockade runner ELSA ESSBERGER and the submarine U 373 which was along side the German ship at the time. Also involved in the action were two HE115 aircraft which attacked and fired on the Liberator which in turn returned fire damaging both enemy aircraft. The HE115's disappeared low over the sea with smoke pouring from at least one of their engines. The action took place in position 4355N, 1015W.

Would it be possible to obtain any details of either of the HE115's, and if they were reported lost due to this action on that day?
