Combat report: 8 February 1945


(1 Bf 109 destroyed)

 

I was flying Blue 3 and dived down to attack the enemy aircraft which Blue 1 had reported. I gave chase to two of them which were flying about 25 yards apart and after two turns, I got on the tail of one of them, closed in to about 100 yards and fired a ½ second burst with 30° deflection. I saw no results so closed in to 75 yards and fired another ½ second burst and hit it in the Starboard wing. Pieces fell off and it went immediately into a spin with smoke pouring from him. There was another ME.109 on my tail and I could not follow him down but my No.2 W/O Clark saw it spin down and crash on the aerodrome. Cine camera used.


I claim 1 Me.109 destroyed.

F/O W.F. Mossing
