Re: Fi156 3(H)/31 shot down 18 May 1940?
Brian,
Yes, to both. The claims for Hs126 submitted by HARRIS, RATFORD, & BELL-SALTER of No.253 Squadron near Cambrai on May 18, 1940, are well documented but I believe relate to a 3.(H)/41 aircraft as detailed in The Battle of France Then & Now & not connected to the loss of the Fi156 of 3.(H)/21 flown by HOLZAPFEL three days later for reasons already stated. Incidentally, the details of this engagement as published on pp212/3 & p232 of Twelve Days in May are contradictory. |
