(1 Focke Wulf Fw190 destroyed)

 

I was flying Orange 3 when N.E. Wismar, I saw a FW 190 at deck level heading S.W. for Wismar A/D. We were at 4,000 feet flying due N.E. and receiving permission, I broke 180° starboard and gave chase. When I was within 500 yds. of the 190 it started to turn and at 300 yds. I opened fire with full deflection but was not positioned to observe results. I overshot and pulled up steeply to port. The 190 continued turning, tightening and climbing as he did so. I was turning outside and above the 190 trying to lose speeed and after the E/A had made 3 complete turns I observed it’s port Aileron fall off. The 190 rolled slightly to port – I saw the hood come off and the Pilot baled out from about 1,500 feet. The E/A dived into a wood N.E. of Wismar and exploded. I saw the Pilot land also but he appeared to be injured as he made no movement. 

 

I claim 1 FW 190 Destroyed. Cine Camera Used.
