Arado 196 - Whitley combat, 18 July 1942
My father shot at a pair of Arado 196s on 18 July 1942, from the rear turret of a Whitley over the Bay of Biscay en route to Gibraltar from Portreath. His logbook reads 'no decisive result', but the Arados stopped bothering the Whitley, though they had damaged it. The Whitley was flying the SOE agent 'Jacqueline' (Yvonne Rudellat) to Gibraltar, from where she was conveyed to the south coast of France by small boat. The episode is in Stella King's 'Jacqueline: Pioneer Heroine of the Resistance'.
I know almost nothing about Luftwaffe records, but this forum seems to be a good place to start. I would like to know if either or both the Arados returned to their base in western France. My haphazard researches have turned up nothing, but the subject experts on this forum may know something. Nick Livingstone
