GENERAL REPORT:
On the 29th. November 1940 I took off as No. 3 for a
Standing Patrol from Speke. At a height of about 19.000 feet I saw a Do-215
approx.100 feet above at 10 o'clock. I immediately attacked with a short
burst. The e/a. dived in the same direction. I followed, closing to about
500 yards. The gunner of the e/a. fired tracers at a Hurricane flying about
4 o'clock from the Do-215. After approaching the e/a. to approx. 350 yards I
opened fire, and closed to 200 yards still firing. I saw some hits on the
cockpit of gunner and around it the gunner after my firing stopped his
firing. I also saw smoking left engine of the e/a. The enemy aircraft turn
sharply to the left.
As I had no ammunition
left, and it was getting dark, I made for home and landed at Speke.
