Re: Blenheims losses 30.06/26.08.41
Hi Robert,
Be carefull with the claims. Actually the two Blenheims claimed NW of Texel on 30th June weren't shot down at all, but only damaged.
In fact 107 Squadron lost 2 Blenheims R3801 and V6139, however to Flak near Sylt, Denmark, the remainder were intercepted by Bf.109's of 2./JG52 NW of Texel.
I join Ross in the opinion that there exist good reference publications about this subject.
Mentioned before the Coastal Command Losses 1939-1941 by Ross McNeill and The Bristol Blenheim by Graham Warener.
You may also check Blenheim Strike by the Dutch author Theo Boiten, which covers almost all Blenheim losses along the Dutch coast.
Good luck!
Hans Nauta
