Hi Col
Thanks for the lead. Any chance of scans of the relevant pages?
I don't have this book in my 1000+ collection!
Chris: Another extract from Ashfield's combat report:
"After about six minutes E/A sighted by observer P/O Morris to port and just below. A little H/T was lost placing E/A between the moon and ourselves. By fuselage silhouetted against moon A/C identified as Do17. No challenge given by us. I took station astern and although unable to see rudders characteristic, the light of exhaust flame distribution from E/A confirmed to my mind that A/C was not British."
Seems as though they identified their victim as a Do17!
Cheers
Brian
