MOST MEMORABLE DAY
by Robert Taylor
Adolf
Galland and his wingman Bruno Hegenauer break through the
fighter escort of No. 303 Squadron's Spitfires to attack Blenheim
bombers of No. 21 Squadron over northern France, 21 June 1941.
In two missions that day Galland claimed two Blenheims and
one Spitfire, survived a forced crash-landing, and later a
parachute escape from his blazing Me109. That evening he learned
he was to become the first recipient of the Knights Cross
with oak leaves and swords - Germany's highest award for heroism.
