Re: 23rd May 1940

Hello Bruce,

In Peter D. Cornwell's The Battle of France, Then and Now (2008) not a trace of this story. All pilots that baled out Hurricanes on 23/05/1940 were either captured or too wounded to fly immediately.

On 22 and 24 May 1940 also nothing that supports what you described.

Regards,

Bart
