Re: 92 Squadron Battle of Britain Claims - July 10th 1940

Hi guys

That's most interesting.

Although I haven't located my original notes (probably disposed of), I was going to mention that I believed some information would have been extracted from Air16/960 (Combats & Casualties). Whilst these daily reports do not provide names, they do report squadron claims for the day.

Many moons ago, when I first 'discovered' the file, I spent many hours handwriting the copious notes into an exercise book (copies of all my notes for 1940 were sent to John Foreman, who used them in his Fighter Command Claims book).

Having found the Heinkel claim in Air16/690, I would have then checked the ORB for names, only to find no combat recorded, but would have noted the names of the pilots on that particular sortie! Speculation now but probably correct.

Cheers
Brian
