"Ved aftenstid den 11. juli 1942 blev Flensborg  angrebet af »Mosquito« fly.
Det var meningen, at 6 fly skulle angribe, men det synes, som om nogle angreb Tønder (her) i stedet for og bombede et tog mellem Døstrup og Skærbæk.
I alt 6 danske blev dræbt og 16 såret ved disse hændelser.

Et af de mod Flensborg udsendte fly, »Mosquito« DK 299, nedstyrtede (evt. nødlandede) ved Rejsby Å.

De 2 ombordværende omkom. Flyverne blev begravet den 16. juli 1942." (FAF) 2 flyvere.  p087MACR
