Tadeusz Sawicz Combat Report from the Battle of Britain, 1p, legal folio, DS, October 24, 1940, marked "SECRET" and submitted by P/O T. Sawicz, No. 303 (Polish) squadron. "On general patrol along the Coast I noted a lone Dernier heading inland over Hornsea. Weather dusk and heavy cloud base and I made close inspection before attacking from an estimated 500 yards. I came in with a beam attack from a quarter astern firing short bursts and scoring hits to fuselage. The gunner immediately returned fairly accurate fire and I pulled away into a cloud. The bomber jettisoned its B/Load, mainly inc F1. I did not see any H.E. It then turned for France at a high speed. I caught up and gave two short bursts which scored direct hits on the mainplane, pieces dropping off. I then had to break off the combat due to shortage of fuel. I last saw the enemy at an altitude of 7000 feet trailing smoke with one u/c wheel down and approx 11 miles from the French coast.
