RAF fighter losses on the 14.06.40

[Bernard]

Hello Robert and Peter,

I do agree with Peter's answer excepted that F/Lt M H Brown didn' t bale out but force landed near Caen.


Air 2/6085 :Since the beginning of the war Flight Lieutenant Brown has destroyed at least sixteen enemy aircraft. On 14th June, when leading his flight on patrol, he encountered nine enemy bombers, two of which were destroyed. Later he attacked nine Messerschmitt 109s, destroying one and driving the remainder off. As a result of bullets entering his aircraft he force landed near Caen, and was unable to rejoin the squadron before it withdrew from France. Flight Lieutenant Brown has shown courage of the highest order, and has led many flights with great success and determination when consistently outnumbered by enemy aircraft.


Peter I am looking forward to read your book.


Cheers.


Bernard.
