Blohm & Voss BV 138 - 9 June 1942
Beaufighter on a fighter interception patrol from Dyce sighted the Blohm & Voss BV 138 and attacked - log book reads
"Damaged Hull and one engine which caught fire - looked in poor shape sent out an SOS." Did the flying boat make it back to Norway ? Best regards Andy B |
