RAF Downs 7 Nazi Planes To Aid Soviet
The Royal Air Force joined the Russians on the eastern front in its first engagements, destroying seven German Messerschmitt fighters with one RAF loss. A squadron claimed three MB-109s downed, then four more MB-109s without casualty. The Wing is led by Wing Commander H. N. G. Ramsbottom-Isherwood and includes personnel from Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. A British submarine shelled a large schooner, likely sinking it, and an Axis supply ship of about 5,000 tons was torpedoed. Bad weather kept RAF raids on Germany from continuing for a third night while German night raiders attacked Britain’s coast.
