(1 Fw 190 destroyed)

 

 

 

I was flying Red 4 in easterly direction and when a few miles S.W. of QUAKENBRUK I reported 4 aircraft at 12 o’clock above at height of approx 10,000 feet heading North East and crossing our line of flight from starboard to port. These aircraft started to dive whereupon Red section turned to port to follow them down, identifying them as FW 190’s. When my leader Red 3 (F/O Thorogood) reported a FW 190 on my port side I slid into a line astern on this aircraft and opened fire at approx 100 yards range following the hun in a slight diving turn to port. After a few short bursts the enemy aircraft steepened his dive and finally crashed at the corner of a road which I believe to be 3 miles Southwest of QUAKENBRUK. My attack and the resulting crash of the enemy aircraft were witnessed by Red 3.
     

I claim this FW190 destroyed.
