Re: F/L James Ralph Thornton, DFC (RAF39345) request information
Adriano,
I don't know about the pilot(s) on the dates you mentioned, but a candidate for the loss on 8 Oct 1940 may be Spitfire R6894 of 1 PRU. This a/c was on a photo mission to Kiel. Claim by Oblt. Adlof Kitzinger (Stab 1./JG54) 30 km WSW Emden. However, some sources say the Spitfire only came down in Kent (see spitfires.ukf.net) which may contribute to the pilot (Thornton?) being safe. Regards, Leendert
