Re: Book error

Poor old 82 Squadron was very much a 'hard luck' group.

During the Battle for France, it was also decimated. On 17 May 82 Sqn was briefed for a dawn raid on German armor near Gembloux. 12 Blenheims took off for the raid, only 1 returned. The rest were shot down by a combination of fighters and flak.
