Ventura losses on April 21st, 1943
Gentlemen,
I am facing conflicting information with respect to RAF losses on April 21st, 1943 that were incurred during Circus No. 290 directed against railway targets near Abbeville. According to what information I have 11 or 12 - how many exactly ? - Venturas of 21 Sqn. came under attack from II./JG 26 and I./JG 27 over the Somme estuary, losing a number of a/c. The question is: How many ? The German fighters originally claimed six Venturas but one claim was rejected or never actually filed. So the daily report of the Lw.-Generalstab spoke of five Venturas shot down on that day. Other sources however state that only two or three Venturas did actually go down. Therefore my question: What was the exact number of losses amongst the Venturas on this particular mission ? Any help is gratefully appreciated. Kind regards Jochen Prien
