Re: Lt Gilmore C. Daniel (RCAF)
It does seem that his remarkable claims lack any Luftwaffe losses to support them.
It appears that only one Bf109 (from Stab/JG26) was shotdown during the day and this is credited to a Blenheim. A second Bf109 (from II/JG2) made a forcelanding after an engine failure,together with one Fw190 (from JG26) which forcelanded with damage.
All together it wasn't a good day for Fighter Command with 12 Spitfires, 1 Hurricane and 1 Blenheim lost.
Regards,
Steve
