RAF combat losses in Iraq, May 1941?
I just finished to read the memoirs of Martin Drewes: Sand und Feuer. Jagdflieger im Irak und über Deutschland (2011).
I wonder if anyone knows RAF records to confirm these claims of "Special Command Junck" in Irak: Between 16.-19.5.1941 the Bf 110 pilots made according to Drewes successfull raids against Habbaniyya airfield: - on 16.5.1941 one Hurricane and two more planes was destroyed on the ground on the British airbase located between Eufrat and Habbaniyya lake - on further attacks during 16.5.-19.5.1941 several British aircraft were destroyed on the ground. On 20.5.1941 Drewes mentions that he shot down one Gloster Gladiator in air combat near Fallujah. |
