Re: Fw 200 in the Battle of Britain
Bill,
You must remember that in the BoB the Luftwaffe were claiming radial engined Curtisses, and the RAF pilots were filing claims for the Heinkel 112 single engined fighter. Many times Bf 110s were mistaken for Do 17s, the Croydon raid of 15th August 1940 being one example of such misidentification. Mistakes in identity did occur. What needs to be done is to check whether the Fw 200 aircraft were assigned to operational units, and missions, over the UK in the first place, and from extant records when and where they flew. Without that base information, everything will be forever conjecture.
