Re: Luftwaffe Losses over ENgland - 12.05.40?

According to the book The Blitz Then & Now by Winston Ramsey (ISBN: 0900913452) there are no records of any raids on England on that date, or the day on either side of this date. As the French/Western Campaign had started just 2 days before I would surmise that the Luftwaffe would of been concentrating all their available airborne assets on that offensive. According to The Battle Of France Then & Now by Peter D Cornwell (ISBN: 1-870067-65-7) the Luftwaffe had approx 80 aircraft either shot down or damaged on the 12th May 1940 on the Western Front.
