Fw 200 in the Battle of Britain

[bill norman]

John,
I take what you say - but would you expect a seasoned BoB pilot to confuse a four-engine enemy aircraft with a twin-engine one - especially when he sees it from very close quarters? At that time, the Fw200 was a relatively rare daylight visitor to Britain's coast, let alone over land.
We all tend to remember the unusual more than we do the commonplace - and I suspect that in that regard Bob Doe was no different from the rest of us. In this particular instance, I suggest that we should not be quite so dismissive about an artist's conversation with a veteran.
