Re: 1 October 1941 Dieppe
Hi James
Heres what the 615 Sqn ORB says about the attack:-
1-10-41
MANSTON
Dawn and dusk patrols each by two aircraft. The almost daily beat up this time was an attack on eight E boats off Dieppe which were successfully shot up. Several of them were stationary, and flames and smoke were seen coming from one of the boats as the Squadron left the scene. One section patrolled base but did not sight any enemy aircraft. Training included local formation flying by two sections of three, there were also two air tests.
Hurricane IIb Z3741 S/L Gillam 17:05 18:15 Shipping Attack
Hurricane IIb Z5545 F/L P.H.Hugo
Hurricane IIb Z3556 Sgt Potts

Hurricane IIb X3175 F/O Strickland
Hurricane IIc Z3081 Sgt Willis
Hurricane IIb Z3747 F/O Aldous

Would there be any chance of you borrowing the book again?
