Re: DO17 shot down by No 1 Squadron.02/03/40.
Hello,

According to No 1 Squadron's F541 for 2 nd of march 1940 :

P/O Mitchell ( L 1671 ): take off on patrol at 10h45_ killed.
Sgt Soper ( L1843 ): take off on patrol at 10h55, return at 12h15.
P/O Brown ( L1974 ): take off at 10h55_ crash landed.

According to Sgt Soper' s combat report ( AIR 50/1 p 190 ), who
assisted Michell in selecting a field for him, the engagement was
at 11h45.

Best regards.

Bernard.
