Re: Question

There were however significant actions on the 17th and 18th "..the massacre of the transports continued,...." as reported in Chris Shores classic Fighters Over the Desert.


On the 17th 250 Sq claimed six He 111s and a Ju 52 in the air, another He 111, two SM81s and a Ju 52 damaged on the ground

On the 18th ten transports were destroyed on the ground, and ten Ju 52s claimed in the air, although there seems to have been overclaiming and misidentification, as only three Ju 52 and one SM82 is recorded. Other aircraft including He 111s and Ca 311 were strafed.

Nothing is listed for the 19th or 20th.
