Andy ingham is on a distinguished road
Air Combat - 28 June 1944 - Normandy

Twelve Spitfire IX from 127 Squadron took off from B.2 Bazenville at 16:50 Hrs on the 28 June 1944.
They encountered some FW190's SW of Caen at 10000Ft.
In the air combat that followed several bursts were fired and strikes obsereved. However no claims were made as the enemy aircraft disapeared into cloud.
One of 127 Squadron's aircfraft, Spitfire IX ML413 was damaged and made a force landing at B.4, Beny-sur-mer. The pilot F/L Doyle was uninjured.
What I am trying to establish is:
1 - From which Luftwaffe unit were the FW190's from?
2 - Where any Luftwaffe claims made that relate to this encounter?
3 - Was any damage/losses suffered by any Luftwaffe units on this day?

Thanks in advance
Andy
