9 August 1940
Hi guys
I note that Peter C records three damaged Spitfires of 64 Squadron returning to Hawkinge during the late afternoon of 9 August following combat with Bf109s, but I can't find any German claims for Spitfires or Hurricanes on this date. Any ideas? Cheers Brian

Re: 9 August 1940
Remember the Luftwaffe did not record damaged or probables only kills

Re: 9 August 1940
All I can say is it wasn't JG 51 according to their unofficial KTB

Re: 9 August 1940
I/JG 53 would have been operating out of Rennes/Cherbourg which I think is well away from 64's area of operation. Accortding to the logbook I have for 1/JG 53, the pilot flew no operational missions that day but flew from Rennes to Guernsey and back again that evening
