Cne Jacobi GCIII/6 killed in action 12 June 1941

[CJE]

Brian,
Of course I remember you were of great help for vol.I. That's the kind of thing I cannot forget.

Here's a rough translation of the report:
"Now we are in trouble to find targets. The English have used every inch of the uneven ground to disperse their vehicles and they await us firmly. I dive behind the Capitaine and the trap closes on us. From everywhere automatic weapons open the fire.
"In front of me, the Capitaine flies straight ahead, disregarding the bullets concentrating on his aircraft. He is hit several times. His Dewoitine enters a shallow dive, then skids on its right. The Capitaine has probably been hit as he makes no attempt to recover and his aircraft crashes into the ground at full speed before blowing up."

N° 80 Squadron's claims:

06.06 - F/Lt Lockhart-F/O Westlake - Martin 167F - no loss on French side, no combat recorded.
09.06 - claims match French losses.
11.06 - P/O Vale - One Pz 63 and 2 fighters - mo match.
14.06 - F/O Dowding - D.520 - Brondel's.
Sgt Hancock - D.520 - no match.
15.06 - F/O Dahl - Ju 88 - 5./LG 1

If you have other questions, do not hesitate to ask.
Wishes,

Chris
