W3125 was lost on a Circus near Abbeville, believed to have been shot down by JG26.
AB281 failed to return from Circus 116A to Abbeville rail yards, shot down by Fw190s of JG26. No info on Young, waiting for someone else to solve that one. AB268 lost on same mission as AB281, coded "DB*B" when lost. BL471 lost on Circus 116B, shot down near Abbeville by JG26. AB183 damaged in combat with Fw190s over Bailleul, France as part of Circus 116A, Sgt. Taylor was wounded and bailed out. |
