Re: BV 138 loss Norway 8.May 1944
This is a puzzle. I have reports that these aircraft were shot down by aircraft of 882 Squadron, and that Lt John Cotching claimed in both victories. Ray Sturtivant indicates several aircraft of 882 and 898 were involved, but LCdr Stanley Orr (Wing Leader) credits them both to Black Flight, 898 Squadron (presumably just 4 Wildcat Vs).
