5/JG 26 v. 66 Squadron, 13/5/40
Is anyone aware of any sources, other than the brief account in TWELVE DAYS IN MAY, of the first encounter between the Spitfire and Bf 109? This was reportedly near Rotterdam on 13 May, 1940. Six Spitfires of 66 Sqdn and Defiants of 264 Sqdn, between 6:45 and 7:05, encountered,5/JG 26's Bf 109s escorting Stukas.
Thanks,
David Isby
