Re: 4 May 41-Attack on Schiphol
Strange. An Observer from 2/106 reported seeing RAF bombers underneath him as they headed for the UK so maybe somewhere else got hit?

Re: 4 May 41-Attack on Schiphol
4/5 May 1941.
Nine Blenheims for shipping between Hook of Holland and Antwerp. Three Blenheims have been attacking the harbours of Rotterdam. Four Blenheims to Antwerp and one to Terneuzen. Must have been from No. 2 Group. Main operation that night was to Brest. Jaap

Hello Chris and Jaap,
I could not find any details in the KTB of Schiphol. No bombing on Schiphol was mentioned on 4 May 41. Best regards, Rob

Chris,
Dutch loss register on nimh.nl has an entry on 24-11-40 for a Ju-88A-5 of 7./KG30 at Schiphol. Wnr. 6046. Nature of accident not mentioned, nor pilot. Regards, Leendert

Re: 4 May 41-Attack on Schiphol
Hello Chris,
Alas no KTB for that period available. Looked into Wochenlageberichte WBN and it was stated that between 25.01.41 - 01.02.41 one Ju88 made a crashlanding in Holland. Alas no more details were stated in this source. Gen.Qu. 6. Abt (Ic) Flugzeugunfälle etc stated a Ju88 of III./KG 30 which crashlanded on the beach of Zandvoort on 25 January 1940. Crew unhurt. Best regards, Rob

Thanks. Definitely at an airfield so not Zandvoort (surely 1941?)
