Mr. Goss - thanks for quick reply about names and machines!¨
This will be part of my searching about this day - other information(place, time,number of starting plane and etc) are welcome.

For other, who are interesting - there is link on Capt. Charles P. London combat report:

I wonder if Haase's loss corresponds with Storrar's probable 190 off Le Havre albeit the loss report says luftkampf mit viermot. Ste Nazaire is way west so probably falls outside your series of combats.

Faenor,

The "Die Jagdfliegerverbände" series now comprises some 23 volumes and Mr. Prien and his team still have one more book to go finish 1943!! A hefty, but most worthwhile investment if you can swing it.
