75 Sqn RAF in search for Hipper class cruiser 27 May 41
According to the ORB twelve Wellington of No.75 Squadron were detailed to carry out a daylight search for Hipper class cruiser on the 27 May 1941. The target was not located but “ a large number of enemy aircraft were encountered and attacks were made on our aircraft. No serious damage was sustained.”
From answers to a post on the “Allied and Soviet Air Forces section” I know that No.75 Squadron was searching for Prinz Eugen together with 40 other Wellingtons and 12 Stirlings. Prinz Eugen had separated from Bismarck and was on her way to France. Luftwaffe bomber and recce units were trying to support the German ships and it must have been these units that No.75 Squadron met. I am interested in any information about aerial combats between Luftwaffe and RAF units during these operations. Thanks in advance Peter
