Re: Kittyhawk losses 23.10.42
for the 23.10.42, The Germans put their efforts against the Kittyhawk pilots and they did well for the 260 sqn.
P/O Mink was shot down (but safe) by a Bf 109, W/O Tomlinson was KIA (HS-B) near El Daba by a MC 202 as Sgt Colley (HS-C) and Sgt Sheppard who were lucky to be safe. The victors were italian pilots from 23° Gruppo, led by Claudio solaro. the first "Kitty" was shot down by Tenente Giorgio Solalori, the second was shared by 3 pilots.
2 other Kittyhawk of 260 Sqn were badly damaged this day of F/O Aithison (HS-O) and P/O Thornhill (HS-X)both safe.
Thank you
