Re: Looking for Photos & Eye-Witness accounts of wipe out of Fairey Battle Recon Formation over Western Front on 30.09.39
Hello,
Left an important aspect off my last post. We still need the a/c codes for any of the 150 SQ Battles lost during this air battle. Also, I should acknowledge the work of Peter Cornwell in sorting out the crews aboard each a/c and providing an account of each loss, including the two 109s damaged on the German side.
Although we have accounts now of survivors that bailed out from three of the crews, we also have no details of exactly where each man landed. This many not be findable, but there must be a French report on that provides a summary of the recovery of these crewmen from their landing sites. I want to map this action, and need as many of these details as possible.
Also, one of the accounts refers to the "Herrot" French Military Hospital at Morhange. The spelling of "Herrot" is not clear to me in the text; could anyone confirm the correct spelling for that French Military hospital?
