132 Squadron losses - 29th April 1944
Good night to all!
On 29th April 1944, Maj. Hans-Joachin Jabs was coming to land at Deelen when he was surprised by a patrol of Spitfires IX led by W/C Geoffrey Page. He shot two Spit before landing and abandoning his Bf 110. F/O John Coulton survived on FF*G, HK639. I would like to know the name, serial number and code of the second Spitfire shot down by Jabs that day. Glad in advance for all Adriano |

Hi Adriano,
Page´s rank was S/L that time. Chris Thomas published interesting pictures regarding Jabs and Caulton in his 2nd TAF, Volume 1. Regards, Michal |

Chris, Karl and Fairlop,
Thanks to both of you! Yes, I have seen those pictures on the book Night Fighters by Hauroth. And there is even a 1970 German magazine relating the History of this air fighting, but never had heard about the second pilot involved. Thanks a lot for both of you! |
