Re: Luftwaffe attacks on England
Brian, main attack was on 22-4-1944 when ME410's on an intruder mission shot down a number of B-24's returning late from a mission to Hamm. See ''Night Of The Intruders'' ISBN 1-85260-460-6. There was some other incidents in 1944 including when a B-17 of 96 BG was shot down on the morning of 12th April, and in the early hours of May 22nd a B17 was destoyed when a hanger was bombed at Great Ashfield . On 7th. June Me 410's attacked B-24's of 34BG over their base shooting three bombers down.
Not quite deliberate but may be of interest but on the night of 21/22 March a Ju88 on a bombing mission to London was shot down and crashed on some B-26's of 386BG at Earls Colne.
During May /June 1943 there were daylight F/B attacks, and night raids to the UK. Renewed Intruder attacks started up again in mid June but I could not find anything specific to Grafton Underwood,
