Battle of Leros Island, November 16, 1943

Colleagues.
I found information on the website that on November 16, 1943, near the island of Leros in the Aegean Sea, German fighters shot down five Beaufighters, including three from the 47th Squadron.

According to other, incomplete information, only two Beaufighters, both from the 47th Squadron, were lost in the area on November 16.

I ask for help in determining how many British aircraft were actually lost, under what circumstances, and how many British and German fighters participated in the battle.
