Re: He111 shot down 17 June 1940
Hi Peter,
First let me say that there is no criticism implied whatsoever. Yours is a great book and very well balanced. I am actually surprised that so much accurate information is available. No. 1 Squadron, for instance, lost all their records when evacuating France and reconstructed them later, from the pilot logbooks. Sources of the Goodman claim for He111 on 17.6.1940, among others: http://www.jewishmag.com/126mag/geor...st_goodman.htm http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/...w2/sugar4.html http://aces.safarikovi.org/biography/pal/goodman.html although the reference is wrong. Men of the Battle of Britain - Kenneth G. Wynn The family. Some sources attribute him with shooting down the bomber that hit the Lancastria but this has clearly been shown to be George Berry. There is a new edition of Men of the Battle of Britain in the works and I want to remove the Lancastria attribution. I have located Goodman's logbook, but it will not be available until October so I cannot check his entry for that day. Mark |
