Re: 33 fighter group losses in Dieppe Raid
Hi,
I have different information about Wells:
12.40-? crashed in the channel off the south coast of England and his body washed up on the beach
At 12:25 the 307th began its second mission of the day. Again no claims were made, and Lt. Wells of the 307th was posted missing in action (he was later found dead by Allied ASR (Air Sea Rescue)
regards
