RCAF No. 418 Sqn's claim for night of 4 to 5 July 1944
Hello/Bonjour,

During a night mission (4-5 July 1944) over Avord airfield (France) a No.418 Squadron's crew - F/L Kerr - F/O Clark – state: "At 02:02 hours, saw intense tracer from Avord airfield. An aircraft caught fire and crashed". I wondered if it would be possible to know the ID of the aircraft which could have been either badly damaged or destroyed that night. At that time, the airfield was occasionally used by bombers from K.G. 26 and 77 (…as transit airfield) and some aircrafts from K.G. 66 were still stationed there.

Frederic
