cause of retrurn
Hi All,
Been browsing the net, and found interestingly that a flight of P-38's was intercepted by Ju-88's in Nov 42, and one shot down and one returned to cornwall, So maybe there is another possibility of the reason for return, not only weather / mechanical problems / but maybe enemy action ? This might explain the lack of any mention of radio contact with the P-38. Seems from net research that the P-38's went first to Ireland for modifications then flew out to NA. But in this case, foreman for some reason definitely took off from Portreath for the flight. Also seems a newspaper article in america in '43 mentioned he was awarded the DFC, ( bit more research... ) Thanks all, the trail is closer to the end but not there yet !! Cheers Jerry
