This is an interesting entry for two reasons.....Second, this is the first time I have seen a record of mosquitoes used in an escort role from the channel to bases in England. Two days earlier, the Nachtjagd followed the bombers home from a raid Ladbergen and Kamen. 22 Bombers were destroyed and eight aircraft were damaged over eastern England and the North Sea in the "Operation Gisela" air battle. 21 Ju.88's were lost and 11 damaged. 46 German aircrew were killed.
