Re: Last RAF Combat over France in WWI
Bernard,
To answer your question, I believe the last recorded combat took place south of Charleroi 11.00 - 11.35 a.m. on November 10, 1918, between Bristol F2Bs of No.20 Squadron and Fokker DVIIs of Jasta 50.
The British claimed 4 enemy aircraft downed: Lt G.E. Randall & Lt G.V. Learmond claiming 2 E/A west of Louerval, 2Lt F.H. Solomon & 2Lt A.D. Sinclair 1 E/A, and Lt H.W. Heslop & 2Lt J. Hackett another though Jasta 50 seem to have reported no losses. One Brisfit was lost, that of 2Lt E.A.C. Britton (PoW) & Sgt R.J. Dodds (KIA), falling to the OC of Jasta 50, Lt Hans von Freden, over Froid Chapelle.
