Operation Mercury

Slow, frail, out-dated and hopelessly outnumbered, Gladiator biplanes of 112 Squadron RAF tenaciously throw themselves into the fray, attacking Luftwaffe fighter-bombers in the battle for Crete, in April 1941. Me110C’s of II./ZG76, having attacked naval units off the coast of Crete in early May 1941 are being bravely intercepted by two Gladiators of 112 Squadron. Heavily outnumbered, the best the RAF pilots can hope for is to disrupt the Luftwaffe formation.

Leutnant Otto Fries
Hauptmann Peter Spoden
