Re: 9. September 1943 above Salerno

Thank you Brian and Remi,

in my notes about Polish destroyer PIORUN I have:
PIORUN with HMS PETARD as a part of covering force downed one enemy torpedo bomber attacking battleships of Force H.
I'm not sure whether this happened on 8 or 9 IX 1943 so any details on the attacks on Allied battleships on those days would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you once again for your help

Andrzej

PS.
On 8 IX 1943 Force H consisted of:
4 BB NELSON & RODNEY and VALIANT & WARSPITE
2 CV ILLUSTRIOUS and FORMIDABLE
19 DD including PIORUN and PETARD

On 9 IX 1943 Division 2 departed (2 BB, 1 CV, 8 DD) apart of FORMIDABLE
