(1 Fw 190 destroyed)

 

 

I was flying as Black 4. When we were split up for the engagement I noticed and E/A below and flicked over firing a short burst with no apparent result. After pulling out at 4000 ft and climbing almost vertically, I saw another Hun and stall turned to come in line astern. He commenced a climbing turn to Port and I fired two deflection shots with no success, but on closing to 100 yards from line astern and firing several long bursts I must have hit him as the E/A did a half flick to Starboard and to Port, finally rolling over and diving out of sight. I did not observe any definite strikes as we were heading into sun, but in my opinion several were obtained along the underside of the fuselage. Black 2 witnessed the encounter and the final fate of the Hun. Cine Camera used.

 

I claim 1 FW.190 destroyed
