Hello All:
I'm trying to help a German researcher mate of mine identify the USAAF aircraft involved in an air combat on December 5, 1944, around 1 pm.
A 262 pilot claimed to have shot down a B-17 in the area NW of Rheine airfield. So far as I can determine, it was B-24s raiding Muenster that day, with the 17s hitting Berlin. Not sure about the relevant routes to & from.
I'm trawling through MACRs, but given the possibility that the bomber may not have gone down (USAAF chronology on-line says no Libs were lost from the Muenster raid), is anyone aware of a bomber which was damaged by a jet at about the right place and time?
Cheers,
Scherf
