(1/2 Messerschmitt 262 destroyed)

 

 

I was flying Green 3 when in the Aachen area at 11,000 ft I saw an Me.262 diving towards us from 13,000 ft. I broke round full to Port and followed him down in line astern. He pulled up steeply at about 9000 ft climbing to 11,000 ft, turned to Port and then commenced a dive to Starboard. He then passed about 500 yards in front of me and I fired a burst with 2 rings deflection but did not see any strikes. I got into line astern and fired a 2-second burst from 600 yards and this time saw streams of White vapour coming from his Port unit. I fired another burst from line astern – this time at 800 yards. The Me.262 increased his angle of dive and rapidly passed out of my range. I leveled off and flew along the top of him looking round I saw my Squadron going down on him. I saw the Me.262 roll on its back and the Pilot bale out.

 

I claim 1 Me.262 destroyed shared with F/O J. H. Stafford.
