Adolf Galland
On 11 August a "Staffel" of Ju 87s from II./StG 1 and IV./LG 1 arrived over the Thames Estuary to attack convoy Agent and Arena. The formation was protected by Bf 109s belonging to JG 26 and led by Adolf Galland. One StG 1 Ju 87 also fell to RAF fighters before the Bf 109s arrived. The raid sank two naval trawlers—"Tamarisk" and "Pyrope" killing 12 seamen.
