Country: | I never did say Fighter command aircraft. A lot of people died, and 46 aircraft is 46 aicraft no matter what they were.

| Correct.
In the attack the 2 Ju 88's approached the airfield with wheels down (as if coming in to land), they then bombed the 2 hangers where the 46 aircraft were stored causing fires which destroyed the stored aircraft.
You seem to think I was arguing with you. 
I wasn't, I was merely giving you info on the attack.
I though you would want to know

This was the only raid in the BoB to destroy such a large number of aircraft on the ground.
Merry Xmas
