Was doing some research on a C47 the museum I belong to will be getting and found a very short insert from a book about another plane that was in the same troop carrier squad.
The c47 in question was 43-16389, named Stuka Chaser. After reading this small clip I serched online for a better brief and found this:
Long story short, on May 9th, 1945 the crew was flying a resupply mission from their hospital base @ A-28, S.E. of Paris to R-26 hospital near Hannover. Someone decided it would be 'fun' to fly into Czechoslovakia to add to their collective 'Short Snorter' bills. En route they encountered a 12 seat German twin engined transport, they flew up alongside and poked 1911 COLTS and a THOMPSON Machine Gun out the window ports and cargo door and forced the German to fly back to their hospital field, where there were no guns, to score some 'war booty'. The ground echelons stripped the airplane of everything 'neat' before 389 could land and taxi in. The crew decided to see if they could do it again and took off, they soon encountered a flight of 5 STUKAS and performed the same 'Chicago style' hijacking back to base. The crew quickly painted 'STUKA CHASER' and 6 SWASTIKAS on the left side nose in white along with the other parachutes,gliders, and cargo bundle mission markers.
Thought it was interesting. Though not technically kills, it might as well be. The first clip I read said this was the only C47 that ever had kills painted on the fuselage in th ETO.
