Re: Luftwaffe loss on 14th May1940

The attack of I./KG76 was at 5.30 a.m., and these Do17's indeed were attacked by No 73 Sqn. One a/c of 3. Staffel damaged.
Then at 6.30 a.m. the attack we talk about here. No report by neither GC III/7 nor GC I/3 so far mentions Bf110 escort.
At 8.00 a.m. the next wave came, again Do17's of an unknown unit but this time escorted by Bf110's. No 1 Sqn claimed two of those, but unconfirmed.

Since II./KG3 was active a bit later, II./KG76 was active over Dinant and KG2 only active after 12.00, I would guess these two actions around 6.30 and 8.00 a.m. were by either KG3 (I./ or III./) or III./KG76.

Regards, Pieter
