DO17 shot down by No 1 Squadron.02/03/40.
Good evening,
On the second of march 1940 at about 11h30, Sgt Soper and P/O Mitchell of No 1 Squadron shot down a Do17 wich crash-landed near La-Petite-Pierre 15 miles NE of Sarrebourg. Two crew members were taken prisonners. Sources: AIR 27/1, AIR 50/1 p17 Brown, p190 Soper. Air 35/253. 67 Fighter Wing Combat report N° 5. 02/3/1940. During this mission, F/O Brown had to force-land after his airscrew desintegrated and P/O Mitchell was killed for stalling on a force-landing approach. Could anyone let me know about this Dornier unit and his crew, were the other crew members killed? Many thanks. Bernard.
