Re: Stab I/StG77 18 August 1940
The reason this loss is not mentioned in The Blitz Then & Now is simply that it did not meet the criteria for inclusion. Only Lw aircraft that actually came down in Britain or crashed in UK waters and from which aircrew were either captured or recovered dead are listed.
I know of no evidence that would positively link the claim by No.235 Squadron with the loss of MEISEL as distict from the claims of No.43 Squadron (who were certainly involved) as well as those of No.152 Squadron.
