Re: Portreath Wing 21 July 1944

Covering this in my Osprey book on the 217 in some detail. Wg Cdr Yonge (235) claimed two Do 217s destroyed; Flt Lt Passey (248) Do 217 destroyed, Flt Lt Nunn (248) He 177 probable, Sqn Ldr Williams (406) 2 Do 217s destroyed (one shared with Coastal Command although he vehemently disagreed with that), Fg Off Meakin (406) 3 Do 217s destroyed. Quite a bit of over-claiming as III./KG 100 lost just 3 aircraft
