(1 Fw 190 destroyed)

 

I was flying Nalgo Green 3. When Nalgo leader ordered us to attack I cut round behind him & picked a 190 which was diving down to the deck on the starboard side of the gaggle. The Hun flew east into a rainstorm at tree-top height. Following line astern, I fired several burst at ranges from 300/100 yds. I saw strikes all over the E/A & it dived straight into the ground at about 400 M.P.H., south of Steinhuder Lake. 

 

I claim 1 FW.190 destroyed.
