Hi,

In the morning of 4 September 1940 Swordfish torpedo-bombers from HMS Eagle’s 813 and 824 Squadrons attacked Maritza airfield on Rhodes. They were intercepted by Italian CR32s and CR42s. Four of the Swordfish were shot down but one CR32 failed to return from the combat.

Did any of the Swordfish squadrons make any claim against the Italian fighters? I checked some books including Air War for Yugoslavia, Greece and Crete but found nothing about British claims.

Thanks in advance
Peter
