Re: Question on the attack on Driffield airfield on August 15th 1940

The whole sector weas on alert that day following the earlier attack by KG 26 and the inconclusive feint by He 115s. Post attack recovery was a regular practice at RAF stations following experiences further south. If they had been alerted, there would have been more fighters committed and greater German losses!
