Re: 33 fighter group losses in Dieppe Raid

Hello,
While "Losses of the 8th & 9th Air Forces" has the names there is no reference to any Spitfire serial numbers.
However, "Spitfire International" has the following -

Returned - Junkin - AB811
Returned - Smith -(308FS).
KIA - Dabney - R7344 "Borough of Halesowen"
KIA - Wright/Wight? - EN855
Returned - Mitchell -(307FS).
POW - Tovrea - EP111
POW - Ingram -EN792
KIA - Collins - EN778
KIA - Wells - EN929
Returned - Waltner - BL338 returned to service.

And from the AB RAF serial numbers series -
R7344 - 91/308 -Missing from escorting Blenheims to Hazebrouck 19-8-42(31FG/308FS.)
AB811 - 71/403/309 Missing off Dieppe 19-8-42 (31FG/309FS)[Junkin].
BL338 - 31FG/308FS, Temp Missing 19-8-42.[Waltner].
BM472 -31FG/308FS, Crashed Kenley 19-8-42.Later to 52FG and 131 Sqn.
EP174 - 31FG/308FS,Crashed Kenley 19-8-42. Eventualy to Admiralty.
EN776 - 31FG/307FS, Crashed 19-8-42. [Mitchell ?] To 234 Sqn.
EN778 - 31FG/309FS.Missing 19-8-42.
EN792 - 31FG/308FS.Missing 19-8-42.
EN855 - 31FG/307FS.Lost 19-8-42.
EN863 - 31FG/308FS,Crashed 19-8-42. To 350 Sqn.
EN929 - 31FG/307FS. Missing 20-8-42 (?).
EP111 - 31FG/309FS. Missing 20-8-42 (?).
Therefore, Smith, Mitchell and two other pilots(who ?) were in either of BM472,EN776,EN863 and EP174.

All the very best
Alex
