RAF BC losses on 6 August 1944
Gentlemen,
on 6 August 1944 Luftwaffe fighter Gruppen were in action against RAF BC Lancasters and Halifaxes northwest of Paris, claiming 16 four-engined bombers, Flak claiming another one. Eight of the claims were filed addressing the victims as B-24s although this was just another example of poor a/c identification. RAF BC registered the loss of only three Lancasters, the loss of a Halifax from a formation aimed at Hazebrouck not being related to the action northwest of Paris. While this is definitely another example of Luftwaffe overclaiming I would like to konw how many Lancasters and Halifaxes came down over allied territory in France or over the UK with battle damage so that they had to be scrapped as Cat. E. Could anyone please enlighten me ? KR Jochen Prien
