Precise date in May 1940 for Luftwaffe raids on certain airfields.

Hello all,

I am trying to learn the exact date in May 1940 when the Luftwaffe bombed certain airfield in France used by the RAF. I believe the date was either May 26th or 27th. The airfields were; Meaux, Rouen-Boos and especially Coulommiers-Voisins ('by 30 aircraft'). I found a brief and unclear mention of these attacks in a RAF document, AIR 35/192, titled 'B.A.F.F. Summaries of Operations 10th May to 16th June 1940'.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Regards,

Martin Gleeson.
