Channel Dash - A Whirlwind Encounter by Robin Smith. February 12th 1942. A Westland Whirlwind rushes an attack on the Scharnhorst as one of 20 Me109s defending the German ships arrives on the scene. Despite opening fire at every opportunity, all four Whirlwinds of No.137 Squadron were lost against the overwhelming opposition of enemy fighters from JG2 and the defensive guns of the ships. Three official claims for Whirlwinds were made by German pilots of JG2 that day - one by Johannes Stolz, another by Willi Reuschling and a third by high-scoring ace Egon Mayer, claiming his 29th victory in a tally that would rise to over 100 before his death in 1944. |
