Data derived from many sources. Corrections/Additions welcomed via Helpdesk

NOTE ON DATES: IMPORTANT: For consistency, the Date is given as the date the mission TOOK OFF since the precise time of a loss is not always certain. Take Off date is unambigous and fixed in the official records, but obviously in those cases where the incident occurred before midnight UK time, then the Take Off Date will be the same as the Incident Date. Of course, most Bomber Command missions flew through midnight, therefore a Luftwaffe claim against a plane - or a locally generated crash report - may record the incident as occurring on the day following our Take Off Date. Bear this in mind when cross-referencing to our Luftwaffe Victories by Name/Date Database and other Luftwaffe sources. In some cases other sources may quote the date following our date, using locally generated reports as their source. To add to the potential for confusion, remember to take into account a Luftwaffe recorded date will be in local time, 1 hour ahead of UK time. When we discover a validated Incident Date we change our record if necessary.



Our hosting service imposes a 4-character search minimum for database tables. We have modified our databases to support 3-character name searches.

Add 'x' to 3-character name: e.g. to search for 'coe' put 'coex' in search box, for 'fox' put 'foxx'.

If you need help, EMAIL us with name and database to search and we will perform the search manually for you.
To search on squadron, append 'Sqn'. Examples: '72Sqn' or '416Sqn'

Awarded the DFC whilst with 15 Sqn. London Gazette 15th January 1944. Citation: ‘As captain of aircraft Flight Lieutenant Woodruff has participated in a large number of sorties, including attacks on such, targets as Berlin, Hamburg and Turin. On one occasion, whilst over Kassal, his aircraft was attacked by a fighter. Although much damage was sustained, Flight Lieutenant Woodruff skilfully manoeuvred his aircraft to enable his gunner to fire a long burst of fire at the attacker which went down in flames. Flight Lieutenant Woodruff then went on to complete a successful attack a the target. This officer has invariably displayed great courage and determination’.

The Ju88 was probably Bf110 G-4 Gp+DY (W.Nr. 6308) flown by Oblt. Drewes, Staffelkapitän of 11./NJG1. His two crew baled out and Oblt. Drewes survived the crash landing (Nachtjagd Combat Archive (23 September - 31 December) 1943 Part 3 - Theo Boiten).
