Battle of Britain Claims

[andy bird]

Whilst writing and researching for 'Coastal's Dawn'.

I'm realising that its a minefield when it comes to claims made by the Blenheim crews, 235, 236, 248 and 254 Squadrons during the Battle.

Could somebody point out where I might find a claims list for the Battle? that includes those from the Blenheims squadrons (of Coastal Command).

Any help will be greatfully acknowledged.

Your Sincerely,

Andy Bird

Andy: I think you know I have a listing for all CC combats. For example in Jul 40 I have:

He 111 dam 236 11 Jul
JU 87 inconclusive 236 17 Jul
Ju 88 dam 236 17 Jul
Bf 109 inconclusive (ac A shot down) 236 20 Jul
Bf 109 inconculsive 236 21 Jul
? dam 248 27 Jul

However, you will have to wait until Dec if you want more

Have you checked the book The other few by Larry Donnelly?
It's a day-by-day chronology of BofB from Bomber Command and Coastal Commands point of view....
