Over Britain... British Spitfire fighters intercept a German
Me109 formation off the Isle of Wight. Flight Lieutenant Dundas shoots
down the German ace Major Wick (with 56 victories) and is himself killed
seconds later. During the night, there is a German bombing raid on
Liverpool by about 300 aircraft. A parachute mine explosion kills 164
and injures 96. |
