Luftwaffe losses to CAM-ships 1941-43
Hi guys
Following the recent interesting posts regarding Fw200 losses to Audacity's Wildcats in late 1941, can anyone put flesh on bones regarding Cam-ship operations, when mainly FW200s were encountered. I list the ones about which I have some record:
28/4/41 FW200 shot down by CAM-ship Patia, which was also sunk during the attack with the loss of 38 lives.
10/6/41 Fulmar from Pegasus claimed FW200 possibly damaged.
18/7/41 FW200 shot down by Norman Prince.
3/8/41 FW200 shot down by Hurricane from Maplin
26/8/41 FW200 possibly damaged by Fulmar from Ariguani
14/9/41 FW200 possibly damaged by Hurricane from Maplin.
25/5/42 Ju88 shot down by Hurricane from Empire Morn (Convoy PQ16)
He111, He111 damaged by Hurricane from Empire Lawrence (PQ16)
14/6/42 FW200 possibly damaged by Hurricane from Empire Morn
18/9/42 He111, He111 damaged by Hurricane from Empire Morn (PQ18)
1/11/42 FW200 shot down by Hurricane from Empire Heath
28/7/43 FW200 shot down by Hurricane from Empire Darwin
FW200 shot down by Hurricane from Empire Tide
It would also be interesting to learn serial numbers of Hurricanes/Fulmars involved in these combats, in addition to names of Luftwaffe crews/units/markings etc.
Thanks in advance
Brian
