He 111 attacking Cambrai airfield May 1940

Does anybody know on which date Cambrai airfield was attacked by He 111 in May 1940? I do not know the unit either. Reportedly I./ZG 26 flew Begleitschutz for the He 111's and Hptm. Kogler of 1./ZG 26 is said to have strafed the airfield after the attack and destroyed 10 Curtiss fighters on the ground. I would like to know the date of the attack and if there is any substantiation for his claim.

John
