Action off Den Helder on 2 August 1943
Hello
9./JG 54 was in action against Beaufighter twin-engined aircraft attacking a convoy off Den Helder on 2 August 1943. The Staffel claimed five Beaufighters but lost two fighters and one pilot killed and one wounded in aerial combat with the escorting Spitfire fighters. It appears that the Beaufighters were from 143, 236 and 254 Sqns, RAF. Did these suffer any losses? Many thanks!
Horrido!
