Re: Stukas (? Ju88s) shot down 22/11/41???
The Ju 88 was also a Stuka (Sturz-Kampfflugzeug) and both Ju 87 and Ju 88 Dive bombers were employed off North Norway in this period. Some Ju 88 A-5 Recce ones retained Dive Brakes but many had them removed.
No known Ju 88 losses in this area on 21., 22. and 23. My opinion on this text be in error, as I have not found any primary reference to such an action (Your manuscript is partly covering my area of interest) Your answer is on Wikipedia, because that day was Convoys day of arrival in Russia. So at least the day is wrong - Convoy had passed Jan Mayen many days before. Convoy PQ-3 was the fourth of the Arctic Convoys of World War II by which the Western Allies supplied material aid to the Soviet Union in its fight with Nazi Germany. The Convoy sailed from Hvalfjord, Iceland on 9 November 1941 and arrived at Archangelsk on 22 November 1941. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convoy_PQ_3
