Re: Bv138 losses in May 1944.

In the KTB for Admiral Norwegen the following is mentioned for 6. May 1944:
08.04-08.30 Attack from 40-60 bombers and fighters against two southbound convoys in the sea area between Kristiansund town and the island of Gossen (which is Hustadvika) Three Luftwaffe aircraft were on escort duties for one of the convoys. Two BV 138 were shot down.
17.57 2 enemy aircraft carriers were observed together with one cruiser and 6 destroyers.

2.(F)/130 was stationed in Trondheim-Ilsvika seaplane station.

It seems that there may be aircraft from the two carriers that attacked, and no Mosquitos this time, or ????
