Mysterious british losses and victories
Hello all
In the book of Donald Caldwell( the JG26 war diary): I quote 25/7/41 "G/C Harry Broadhurst,the Hornchurch station commander,led a flight of four spitfires into France-Broadhurst's three companions were shot down by Bf 109" Is't real? and by whom? JG2 or JG26? ( nothing for example in book of Jochen Prien:Teil 5) Somebody knowns about it more? regards

No mystery as I have written about this. 25 Jun 41 Wg Cdr J R Kayll (Wing Leader) and Plt Off Beresford (54 Sqn) POW, Plt Off K E Knox (54 Sqn) returned wounded. Broadhurst decided to try and get the German fighters as they landed but they got bounced themselves
