Sunderland combat with Do18 26 July 1940
Hi guys

Can anyone provide further information regarding the above engagement, please? The Do18 from 1/406 suffered minor damage.

Cheers
Brian

Thanks again, udf

Have you by any chance 10RAAF's ORB entry for 14 July when Birch's crew engaged a He111?

Cheers
Brian

It's for all and sundry!
http://recordsearch.naa.gov.au
search for :
RAAF Unit History sheets (Form A50) [Operations Record Book - Forms A50 and A51] Number 10 Squadron.
jump to page 95, but you'll be disappointed...
P.S. Realized it was the 15 JUL.
