Re: B-17's use by RAF

Well Johannes

I doubt Coastal Command flew any joint Bomber Command ops over Germany.
The number of aircraft were too few and CC was busy enough with convoy escorts,
ocean and weather reconnaissance.

I also checked all Fortress losses by CC and none fits.

As per BC War Diaries (Middlebrook) five B-17s took part in the Mannheim raid, no losses
Same thing on the Hannover raid, five B-17s, but this time with one stated loss

Looking through the British Fortresses I cannot verify that loss. Maybe I am missing
something....

Cheers
Stig
