Re: BoB - three Do17's downed with one shot - Horton Kirby ,Kent

From the Battle of Britain Historical Society website, http://www.battleofbritain1940.net/0038.html this extract as follows:-
Quote:
1240hrs: Although badly mauled, 46 Squadron keeps up the attack, and together with 222 Squadron and 605 Squadron chase one of the Bf109s and shoots it down near Sevenoaks while two Hurricanes move in and finally bring down one of the Do17s over Maidstone. Forcing the scattered Dorniers inland, many come under attack by AA gunfire in which it is claimed that two more of the bombers are brought down, both near Maidstone.
The BoB has been minutely examined and I'm sure someone has access to Luftwaffe records of losses sustained that day.
Hope this helps!
