Re: ID two Bf109s destroyed on 29 May 1944

Thank you Nick; I'd assumed that such operations were severely restricted due to the Allies' air superiority, but assuming isn't always the correct approach, so confirmation that reconnaissance was limited is welcome and helpful.

Apologies if you've seen this before, but in his weekly situation report issued on 5 June, Rommel stated "Survey urgently required of harbour moorings on the entire English south coast by air reconnaissance" (Wilmot's The Struggle for Europe page 229), implying no reports had been received during the previous week.
