Re: German losses at Sola on 17 April 1940
Hi,
German situation report of Air Corps no.X gives as follows:
In the morning seaplane airbase Stavanger-Sola was shelled by British naval forces. Four He 59s were destroyed and 2 He 59s damaged. 1 enemy aircraft (probably artillery spotter) was shot down.
At midday two air attacks had been flown against Stavanger airbase by six and 20 Blenheim bombers respectively. Numerous signal communication aircraft (JU 52) were destroyed, 1 Bf110 burned down. Two killed. The second attack was aborted early due to fighter resistance. Two enemy aircraft were shot down by I./ZG76.
No transport units (shore-based or seaplanes) were engaged on 14.4. due to weather.
Regards
Robert
