Re: Whitley's attacked over the Bay 8/42
Hello,
Needs confirmation, but l think this incident occurred on 3rd August, 1942. No.51 Sqn despatched 6 Whitleys on A/S patrols. Some of the aircraft were attacked by Arado Ar 196s. Z9222 returned to base damaged, and Z9119 was shot down. http://static.awm.gov.au/images/coll...25_017--1-.pdf See: p.133 of 479 The story was widely reported in the Australasian press. Here is one example: http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article50134666 And a brief mention in the RAAF Official History: http://static.awm.gov.au/images/coll...070684--1-.PDF See: p.30 of 38. Interesting maps on pp.16, 19, & 23 of 38, for CC freaks! Photo of pilot of Z9119, if required, here: http://www.awm.gov.au/collection/P07889.001 Don't blame me for the captioning! Col.
