Re: 23rd May 1940
Hello,
Dare I mention Fighter Command Losses Vol 1 revised ?
List of Hurricane pilots that Bailed on the 23rd May 1940.
32 Sqn Sgt. Nowell baled from P3550.
242 Sqn P/O. Benzie baled from P2550.
242 Sqn P/O. Smiley baled from P3392 became a POW.
12 Days in May has
On page 316 it notes that ten Hurricanes were lost .
Here are the serial numbers and pilots names for four more, making a total of seven of ten.
242 Sqn P2809 F/O. Graafstra
242 Sqn P2730 P/O. Malone
253 Sqn N2614 P/O. Ford
605 Sqn L2121 F/L. Leeson
I hope this is a help and perhaps others may be able to add to or correct this info. I have not included Spitfire losses as the question was specific about Hurricane's.
All the best
Alex
