Adlerangriff Frame 1

August 11, 1940 Ventnor radar detected an excessive build up across the Channel just outside of Cherbourg. Park immediately put all of his squadrons in stand-by mode. As time went on, the build-up was getting bigger and bigger and it now looked as if it was the biggest armada of air power yet sent across the Channel. But fortunately the only build-up was coming in from the direction of Cherbourg. This now, was not an assortment of Ju 87s or Bf 110s, but fifty-six Ju 88 heavy bombers from I and III./KG 54, twenty Heinkel He 111s of KG 27, sixty-seven Bf 110s from II and III./ZG 2 and about thirty Bf 109s of III./JG 2. In total, about 170 German aircraft. Fighter Command relayed the information to the Operations Room at 10 Group and RAF No.145 Sqd (Hurricanes), RAF No. 152 Sqd (Spitfires), RAF No.213 Sqd (Hurricanes), RAF No.238 Sqd (Hurricanes), RAF No.601 Sqd (Hurricanes) and RAF No.609 Sqd (Spitfires) were scrambled to intercept. Off the coast, and out over the Channel, the dogfights were fierce and numerous. Spitfires in high speed chases weaving over or under other dogfights that were in progress, were either chasing Bf 109's or being chased by them, sometimes a British pilot would abort an intended attack because once within identification range he found it to be a British fighter. The attack by the formation that was heading towards the Portland Naval base was the biggest of the day, with destruction of a number of factories, the gasworks and oil storage tanks, all others being fairly minor and were really of nuisance value more than anything else, although the days losses were high. ASW Trawler HMS 'Hertfordshire' was in Admiralty floating dock (AFD19) which was holed and strained. The 'Hertfordshire' suffered some splinter damage. The Luftwaffe lost a total of 38 aircraft made up of two Heinkel He 59s, two Ju 87s, (one each from IV./LG 1 and II./StG 1), six Ju 88s, three Dornier 17Zs, ten Bf 110s from ZG 2 and fifteen Bf 109s. Further to that some fifteen aircraft either made forced landings or managed to make it back to their bases with considerable sustained damage. #aceshigh3 #ww2 #flightsim #gaming #aerialwarfare #combat #squad #battleofbritain #westernfront #JG11
