Peter Brothers DSO DFC

Hi guys

Peter Brothers was with 32 Squadron early in the Battle of Britain. He provided a piece for Max Arthur's book 'Lost Voices of the RAF', in which he stated that one day he shot down a Ju87, landed at Hawkinge to refuel, and later the same day shot down a Bf109.

I can't find any reference to his claiming a Ju87, not in Chris Shores' 'Aces High' at least.

Any ideas?

Cheers
Brian

Hi Brian

No reference to any Stuka claim by Pete Brothers in Andy Saunders' "Stuka Attack!".

Hi Brian,

The nearest information that I can find for this event would be a combat on July 20th 1940.

Peter Brothers was Blue 1 and claimed a 109, John Humpherson was also in Blue section and claimed a Ju87 destroyed.
