Re: 26 May 1942 - Which RAF aircraft damaged this Ju 88
Hi Pierre
From 234 sqns ORB:- 26-5-42 Bad weather during the morning. The Squadron Leader engaged a Ju88 west of base and claims this e/a as damaged. Weather was 10/10ths at 500 feet and e/a was finally lost in cloud after hits were seen to strike fuselarge to the rear of the Glasshouse causing a large white flash. S/L Birchfield took off in Spitfire BL939 Patrol Convoy 11:45, landed 12:10. I do not have his combat report so the time of his attack would be between the above. On the 25-5-42 his claim was stepped up to a Prob. Does the claim match with the Wekusta units Ju88, have you any more detals ? David |
