Chris,
As far I am able to see, Schiphol A/F was not bombed during that night. Jaap Woortman

Re: 4 May 41-Attack on Schiphol
Strange. An Observer from 2/106 reported seeing RAF bombers underneath him as they headed for the UK so maybe somewhere else got hit?

Re: 4 May 41-Attack on Schiphol
4/5 May 1941.
Nine Blenheims for shipping between Hook of Holland and Antwerp. Three Blenheims have been attacking the harbours of Rotterdam. Four Blenheims to Antwerp and one to Terneuzen. Must have been from No. 2 Group. Main operation that night was to Brest. Jaap

Re: 4 May 41-Attack on Schiphol
Hello Chris and Jaap,
I could not find any details in the KTB of Schiphol. No bombing on Schiphol was mentioned on 4 May 41. Best regards, Rob
