Re: Me110s against RAF fighters.

To Stovepipe & Juha,

1. As Nick Beale has quite rightly pointed out, the assigned objective would be important. Close escort to lumbering bombers until intercepted by RAF fighters would have set the Bf 110 crews at a grave disadvantage.
2. There is a major difference between claims by Bf 110 units, and the actual losses suffered by their opponents. Try checking III./ZG 26 claims on 18th August 1940, for example, against what actually happened. So one must not ascribe 100% veracity to all that was claimed (and yes, I know that applies to all combat units in all air forces).
