[Bernard]

Good evening,

On the second of march 1940 at about 11h30, Sgt Soper and P/O Mitchell of No 1 Squadron shot down a Do17 wich crash-landed near La-Petite-Pierre 15 miles NE of Sarrebourg. Two crew members were taken prisonners.

Sources: AIR 27/1, AIR 50/1 p17 Brown, p190 Soper.
Air 35/253. 67 Fighter Wing Combat report N° 5. 02/3/1940.

During this mission, F/O Brown had to force-land after his airscrew desintegrated and P/O Mitchell was killed for stalling on a force-landing approach.

Could anyone let me know about this Dornier unit and his crew, were the other crew members killed?

Many thanks.

Bernard.
