Re: Luftwaffe Air Attacks 20 Aug 40
....and nowhere near the west of England. I believe it fits LG 1's MO but I have nothing to support this. I have checked the reports again and irritatingly, I beleive a number of reports are missing. However, a Ju 88 of I/LG 1 carried out an armed recce that morning which took in Exeter-Pyle and Bridgend which would indicate that the targets later on were in therse areas. The following day, KGr 806 and II/LG 1 carried out a series of airfield attacks in the same region thus supporting the theory that the attack on Newton Abbot and Neath could have been by these units
