Re: Luftwaffe Air Attacks 20 Aug 40
There is nothing about any attacks on the 20th August in Die Geschichte Des Lehrgeschwaders 1 by Peter Taghorn. For Ju-88's the closest dates are for losses are on the 17th & 22nd with one loss on the 22nd near Portland Bill.
The closest entry I can find for any LG related unit is this one for the 21st and the area does fit for the second attack with Exeter not being all that far from Newton Abbot...
Time - 1340
Unit - II/LG-1
Target - Penrhos Airfield - Angriff wg. Jagdabwehr bei Newport abgebrochen.
Time - 1440
Unit - II/LG-1
Target - Yeovil Airfield - 1630 Uhr. Sturzangriff auf Ausweichziel Flugplatz Exeter. 2 Treffer (LLZ) in Flughallen, 2 daneben, der größte Teil der Hallen ist beschädigt.
Time - 1822
Unit - II/LG-1
Target - Angriff Flugplatz Yeovil - Auftrag abgebrochen Schlechtwetter.
