Description
Four RAF 17 Squadron Hawker Hurricanes, led by German born Count Manfred Beckett Czernin (YB-F) and Harold 'Birdy' Bird-Wilson (YB-W), return to their base at Debden after a late patrol during August, 1940. Both pilots were veterans of the fighting over France, and would distinguish themselves during the Battle of Britain. Unusually they had the distinction of both being shot down by noted German Jg26 ace Major Adolf Galland. The two pilots would survive both this encounter and the war to become highly decorated aces.
