Re: LAGOON versus JIM CROW Operations

However, it is not very clear to me WHY the RAF would only send two Spitfires LRVb to a shipping strike mission, if they could send the whole Squadron! As we can see from the 5th May 1943 entry, one did not come back!
I did not understand this kind of policy...by that time Coastal Command was executing huge Strikes with a dozen or plus Beaufighters and Mosquitos armed with rockets and multiple guns or even torpedos ( Torbeaus ); a very different kind of approach to the same task: sink enemy shipping.
Yours ( still puzzled )
