(1 Focke Wulf Fw190 destroyed)

 

I was flying Red 3 when we received vectors on the bandits in the Lauenberg area. After some 10 minutes we saw 5 e/a at about 3500 ft. three of which went up into could at 4000 ft. Red 1, S/L Cole, and myself closed on the other two e/a which were FW.190s. I fired at one, 500 yds range 20° angle off, and giving a two second burst saw strikes, the e/a diving into cloud. I followed down and broke cloud at 1000 ft. with the FW.190 still in front. I fired again at 300 yds range dead astern, seeing no results. The e/a climbed into could and I flew along underneath. The FW.190 came down again below cloud and it appeared that the pilot was unable to hold his height. I fired a long burst at 300 yds range dead astern and smoke appeared, pouring out behind the e/a. I closed to 200 yds before I fired again, the FW.190 rolled over on its side and crashed on the ground.

 

I claim one FW.190 destroyed.
