Re: Attack on Eindhoven airfield, 9/10 September 1940

Hi,

it might be a Wellington bomber from no.3 Group. It was targeting Essen but two bombs were aimed at Shiphol on returning leg. But most likely it could be a Whitley bomber from no.4 Group, which bombed an airfield in Holland between 02.30 and 02.45 hrs.
Germans reported that the attacking aircraft had flown 2 bomb runs.
This He 111P (4./KG4) was in landing circuit when it was caught by the blast of exploding bombs and crashed into the train.

Regards

Robert
