Re: 19 August 1940 - Sea Gladiators in action!

Brian,

Sorry I can't help with identifying the Gladiators but I have the following taken from 'Battle In The Skies Over the Isle Of Wight' by H. J. T. Leal.

August 19 1940

"During the afternoon a force of 30 or so Junkers Ju88s with the usual escort of BF109s crossed the Island heading for Southampton. The dock area was heavily bombed"

RAF Losses.
Nil

Luftwaffe Losses.
Junkers Ju88
Unit. 3/KG51
Crew. Not known
Crashed in the Solent.

Regards
Peter.
