RAF Losses 1 Nov 40
Can anyone help solve a mystery? At about 1600 hrs on the above date, JG 2 bounced 213 Sqn (145 and 609 Sqn were also airborne at the time). In Crook's book 'Spitfire Pilot' he mentions 3 Hurricanes were shot down but only one pilot killed (Plt Off Wlasnowolski in N2608 at Stoughton, West Sussex). However, the F540 for 213 Sqn makes no mention of other losses even though (apparently) V7221 was destroyed by fire and there is mention of P2814 and P3641 coming off the Sqn strength that date.
Curiously, there were no German claims unless the bounce by Oblt Hermann Reiffehrscheidt of 1/JG 2 was successful; he was then shot down by Offenberg of 145 Sqn and taken POW
