Re: 18 and 19 May 1940 over France
The previous link to claims of No. 17 Sqn was based on the interpretation of Peter Cornwell in TBoFTaN.
However, I think Gillet's interpretation is much more accurate and plausible, which leads to the following loss description:
May 18 4.(F)/11 Dornier Do17P-1. Shot down by Sgt Dymond of No. 111 Squadron during reconnaissance sortie over Vitry-en-Artois, and crashed into the ground causing a terrible explosion at Elverdinge, north of Ypres 7.00 p.m. BO Oberlt Oskar von Dolega-Kozierowski, FF Fw Conrad Wiegand, and BF Uffz Walter Hammann killed. Aircraft 100% write-off.
