26 June 44
Any information regarding the loss of two Bf109's on 26th June 1944 in the Falaise / Lisieux area at approximately 0640. During an armed recce by 403 Sqdn.
As I understand it, two Bf109s were claimed shot down and a further two damaged, possibly right over Lisieux airfield. (Was there an airfield there?) Pilot names would be a great help. Many thanks.
