Info needed: RAF Raid on Cologne June 28/29 1943

[John D. Petertson]

Need information about the RAF Bomber Command night raid by 100 Sqn out of Grimsby on Cologne the night of 28/29 June 1943, generally, and, in particular the shoot down of AVRO Lancaster Mk III ED 362 HW-E (for Easy).

I am trying to research this raid and shoot down as there was a relative on board who didn't survive the crash.

I am aware of Chorley but have no access to those books.

I know that the aircraft went down to a 2/NJG1 night fighter but I don't know what type of aircraft. As I understand what they were using then, it was probably a 110/G but I can't confirm that.

Any and all info and details would be much appreciated.

John
