Re: LeO 45 and 451 shot down by Rudorffer ( JG 2 )
Here we go.
Unfortunately I have no details on the LeO take-off times.
Groupement 7 (I/11 and II/23) was the first one to bomb around 1530.
Groupement 6 bombed sometime between 1600 and 1630.
I cannot be more specific but I assume that, as it was a common practice for the French bombers, the second wave arrived over the area 45 min to one hour after the first one.
It really was a blood bath for the French bombers which lost 15 of their own, with 24 killed and 21 wounded.
Please note that the French crews noticed also Bf 110s among the E/A.
