Re: B-17 raid LE TRAIT 24 AUGUST 1942
Both JG 2 and JG 26 tried to intercept this raid but according to JG 26 War Diary by Caldwell no German fighter could reach the bombers, all fighting the Spitfire escort. The latter claimed 3-1-4 Fw 190 for two losses and 2 damaged, the German units claimed 6 Spitfires (1 by JG 2, 5 by JG 26) apparently without loss.
