Chris

Is there perhaps a relevant description of this battle?
With a rather inadequate defence I always thought that the Ar 196 best way when attacked was to turn as h..l. This in itself makes any shooting back rather difficult.....
Getting three (or four) Beaufighters for no own losses is rather remarkable and this fight may be a very unique one. The Beaufigher surely both outgunned and had better self protection than the Ar 196. So how could this happen? Is it a classic case of the British fighters slowing down and trying to turn with his enemy?

Cheers
Stig
