Re: De Kooy Airfield, 10.5.40

Hi,
according my data the attack on De Kooy air field of 08.00 was not made by Bf110's, but by Bf109's of II./JGr186. One of these was probably lost to anti-aircraft fire and made a landing in Friesland. Of course the others were by Bf110's as summarized by Hans.

Apart from that thanks for triggereing this thread, since it made me realize that units of Luftflotte 5 (in this case 2./ZG76 stationed at Aalborg) were used in the initial phase of Fall Gelb and the attack on the Netherlands. As far as I can see they were in that sense the only ones, correct?

Regards, Pieter
