Re: Command Atlantic, December 1943.
While returning to base on 28 December after looking for targets, Lieutenant Commander Reedy encountered four He 177 aircraft. In the resultant melee, Reedy's crew managed to damage one of the enemy, sending it back towards France trailing smoke from a fire in its starboard engine. Postwar examination of German records indicated that He 177A3 Werk No. 5557 from 11/KG40, flown by Hauptman B. Eidhoff, was unable to return to base and crashed into the sea.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VPB-110 I also saw information that another Liberator from squadron VPB-110, which later crashed on its return, had a firefight with two German aircraft over the Bay of Biscay. Is this true?
