Re: Franz Eckerle, JG 54 on the Western Front
The 114 Squadron ORB indicates only two of their Blenheims attacked enemy targets this day (1 August 1940). This was due to bad weather. The Blenheim crew that returned stated they encountered no flak over their target airfield and made no reference to any attack by aircraft, though they noted that their Blenheim was followed across the Channel by an unknown aeroplane.
No mention of any damage and based on the above crew report it seems they suffered none.

Regards,

Martin.
