May 14th 1940 and few little things

[Bernard]

Good afternoon to all,

What a thread !

I have now been searching about RAF history in the Battle of France for quite a long time now, and am still on it for quite a long time I think. I have been through many documents, and I just want to give my opinion about the "No 142 Squadron Battles affair".

On the 14th of may 1940, No 142 Squadron lost four Battles: K9333, L5517, P2246 and P2333 between 1500 and 1600.

K9333 3 crews returned to their unit.
L5517 crews were all killed.
P2246 3 crews returned to their unit.
P2333 1 crew returned to his squadron, 2 other crews were killed.

7 crews returned to their unit !

I think that if these four Battles had been shot down by French fighters, we all would very clearly know it now !

Don' t you?

Very best regards.

Bernard.
