9./KG 4 Do 17 Losses 11 August 1940

[Peter Cook]

According to Mason, and BOB Then and Now, plus the BOB Combat Archive, two Do 17Zs of 9./KG 4 were damaged in combat off Folkestone at approximately 13.40-13.45 on 11 August 1940, with one unnamed crew member killed and one wounded. I thought that III./KG 4 operated the Ju 88, while I and II./KG 4 operated He 111s. It is known that three Do 17Zs of 9./KG 2 were damaged during the same engagement, and are listed by the same sources, plus Balss and Balke's history of KG2. I assume that it is possible that 9./KG 4 was confused with 9./KG 2 by the original source for this. Any thoughts?
