Re: Luftwaffe bomber losses 14.06.40 & 16.06.40
Thanks a lot to all
I'll try to give more detail because i'm curently watching in french DCA archive to see if there are more detail.
@matti : big big thanks... may be i'll find a picture of this bird !
@chris : very intersting about the Dornier. Some precision :
The ECMJ 1/16 victory june 14th was made by Sgt Sauvage/S/C Sigrist/S/CPages on Potez 631 n°163. The Potez take off during the bombing of Tours (second wave) and shot down a Dornier and then go to Fontenay le comte. Anyway it seems that Luftwaffe suffer no losses during the Tours raid (nore Fighters or Bomber). So i do not think the recce Dornier was shot down by ECMJ.
DO you have anymore detail about this Dornier of 4(F)/11 (place of crash, hour, code ??).
@Robert : In fact there are two patrols with fight who take off from Tours
- first one fight ZG26 escort and suffered one losse during base bombing (between 15.00 & 16.00, french hour)
- second one take of and fight against "Dornier" with things i write : "attack of Dornier, two are hit. One crash in flamme near Chateau du Loire, the second north West of Vendôme". It's important to note that pilots do not claim anything for this two.
At least one question : is there any losse of recce aircraft in the sector june 16th on the morning ?
Thanks a lot to all
Matt
