Re: 26 May 1942 - Which RAF aircraft damaged this Ju 88

Hello David,

Thank you very much for your additional information about the Wekusta's Ju 88 damaged by S/Ldr. BIRCHFIELD from 234 Sqdn.

In fact, for the moment, I have few information about this airfight :

- Luftwaffe unit : Wekusta 2, based Brest
- one seriously wounded crewman : the wireless operator (Uffz. A. KOLLER)
- Ju 88 damaged 20%

I ordered to the Bundesarchiv the corresponding "Fliegermeldung" (mission report) but I have not yet received it.

The time of the S/Ldr. BIRCHFIELD's sortie, matches with the probable time of the JU 88's location at that moment : certainly the Ju 88 went back from NW of Ireland ... as, every day, at about the same time, one Wekusta 2's Ju 88 flew such a mission !

Thanks again

Pierre
