238 Squadron pilot in the sea 1940
On page 352 on The Battle of Britain Then and Now there is a letter from Sgt Eric Bann of 238 Squadron. It looks to be dated before August 7th and after Mid July 1940 and only states it was written on a Friday !!
Sgt Bann says he took off with the C/O and two other pilots and engaged some bombers over the sea. He says quite clearly that he was shot down into the sea and after a long swim was picked up and landed at Portsmouth. I can find no record of this incident at all. Who shot him down ? what Hurricane was he flying ? date etc..... All help appreciated. Thanks Jon |
