14th May 1943
Hello,
on this date Kiel was attacked by the 8th Air Force. A Liberator flown by Lt. John Reed was damaged in the attack but managed to fly back to the base, Shipdham. Unable to lower the undercarriage the crew bailed out and the pilot set the machine on auto-pilot over the North Sea. It was then shot down by Spitfires, possibly of a Polish squadron. Does anyone have more details of which Spitfire squadron was involved? Regards, Francis
