Which squadrons took part in "Scharnhorst" attack 27/28-02-1942
Dear Members.
I hope someone can tell me which squadrons took part in the attack on the "Scharnhorst" on the 27/28-02-1942. I only know that 13 planes of 77SQ took part. I only know the number of plane types per Group: 6 Wellingtons van No.3 Group 2 Stirlings van No.3 Group 19 Whitleys van No.4 Group (including 13 Whitley's of 77SQ) 6 Hampdens van No.5 Group I hope someone can help me out. This information will be used in a presentation about the crash and the crew of the 77SQ Whitley Z9280 that crashed on this mission at Driesum, The Netherlands. Thank you all for your help Kind greetings, Rene Bosma |
