Re: JU 88A-5 Loss 27.9.40
Hello Peter,
You have noticed, I am sure, that the three attacking Hurricanes Red section all identified the Ju88's as He III's. I have come across this a number of times.
An interesting point made in S/L Heyworth's combat report was the rescue organisation which he described as practically negligible should a pilot be force to bale out. This was to happen two days later when Nelson-Edwards had to do just that but was lucky to be picked up by a passing vessel.
He also referred to the lack of D/F Fixer in the sector. this explains a lot in my opinion.
Regards
Tony K
