Re: 75 Sqn in search for Hipper class cruiser 27 May 41
Hello Peter,
On the very useful book "Bomber Command War Diaries", by Middlebrook and Everitt ( pg.158 ): "52 Wellingtons and 12 Stirlings searched over a wide area for the Cruiser Prinz Eugen, after her partner ship, the Bismarck, had been sunk in the Atlantic. Nothing was seen".
A second mission was carried out by 14 Blenheim on shipping sweeps of Holland and Germany; as well by 9 Blenheims which attacked Lannion A/F, destroying one enemy aircraft on the ground. NO LOSSES."
