Milan Op. 12th August 1943
Boggie has sent me some notes (not worth publishing here I am afraid) that Ernie Herrald made re. his training and Operational Tour. I have had a read through and one particular comment struck me as interesting and possibly humourous. (If my memory serves me correctly Reg, was also on this raid.)
The comment he made for the Milan trip was as follows:
"“Spectacular trip over Mont Blanc. Full moonlight. Searchlights were electric storm! Chased Biplane fighter, very long stooge. 9hrs 10 mins.”
The bit that interests me is "Chased Biplane fighter", some googling does seem to show that the Italians did indeed use biplane fighters... has anyone else heard of a Halifax bomber trying to chase and shoot down an Italian Biplane fighter?
