Ju 88 and HMS Welshman
Dear friends,
I have a trouble.
On July 15, 1942 an Axis air formation sighted and attacked near Bizerte the minelayer HMS Welshman... without, however, causing damage to the ship.
The air formation was definitely comprising: one or two Cant.Z.506 (146a Sq) some Fiat CR.42, ten italian Ju 87 (102° Gruppo) and one S.79 (10° Stormo).
Some sources also report the presence of some Ju 88 ... both as "recce" (first plane that sighted the HMS Welshman) ... both as bombers that attacked the ship after the italian aircrafts.
Can you help me to find the Luftwaffe units involved (and possibly the crews)?
Thanks a lot, Daniele.
