Hi,

Uffz. August Woltering was shot down by a South African Spitfire pilot on a mission beginning at 17:05 on 10 August 1943. There is quite a bit of detail about this combat in the recently released book written by Morten Jessen and myself, Focke-Wulf Fw 190 in the Battle for Sicily, including first-hand accounts from Woltering's Rottenfuehrer, and from one of the successful South African pilots. The book is available from the company website: www.airwarpublications.com

Cheers,
