Re: 2 Group Losses

Difficult to say if the Blenheim losses were due more to fighters or to flak: both had a pretty good time hacking them down. More than a few were lost as well by trying to fly just that bit too low on anti-shipping sorties and hitting either the sea or the target.

Boiten's book is good but an even better one is "The Bristol Blenheim - A Complete History" by Graham Warner, a second edition of which is being published in August by Crecy.

All the best,
