Re: Ju88 losses over Tobruk 16th Jan 1943
Wow George - where DID you get all this stuff ?? Really excellent work !! I can't explain the date problem - Here's what Oxby snr's logbook entry says for the 16th Jan 43:
Date 16.1.43 V8447 Beaufighter. NFTs at 1105 and 1200. To 'Martuba with two passengers'
1900 Pilot F/O Shipard. Scramble. Two contacts 1. One Ju 88 destroyed. 2. One Ju 88 destroyed. 3 POW. Flying times : night 1.25.
Date discrepancy is a real mystery ?? Can't make that one out, partic as Warnes's Squadron history account says it was the 16th too !
