Spitfire losses - Correction
Sorry - I wrote this:
Franks gives a list of 9 Spitfires (74, 92, 54 Sqns) and 9 Hurricanes shot down that day in the same area - some by Me 110s, the rest by 109s. Correction: 7 not 9 Spitfires on 23 May. I hadn't noticed that the last two above-mentioned Spits were lost, as well as a 3rd one, on 24 not on 23 May. So three Spits were lost in the area on 24 May. The first ones lost over France (apart from possible PR Spits) were lost on the previous day, 22 May (one over Britain after a patrol in the Calais area because of some engine trouble - after combat or not). And so it went on with 4 Spits and 2 Hurric. on 25 May, etc. Last edited by rof120; 17th February 2021 at 20:42. |
