information on intercepted bombing mission
 
Hi everyone, my name is Jim Meyer, I have been redirected to this web site for the information that I am seeking. I am looking for information on actions taking by a ME-109 on 43/01/14. My uncle 2lt. Louis F. Meyer was flying a P-38, escorting a flight of bombers over Sousse and Sfax Tunisia. My uncle was shot down and the crash site and remains have never been found. The information that I request is the approximate location of when the ME-109’s intercepted the bomber formation and an approximate location of when the ME-109 intercepted my uncles P-38. I will attach the mission report for that day. Any information, no matter how little it may be, will be a big help for me in trying to recover my uncle
Thanks to all who reply.
Jim Meyer

Are you sure about the date? Or that it was Bf 109s? The only P-38 claim we have for that day is by a Fw 190 from JG 2. None of the 109 units claimed a P-38. It would be hard, even for Luftwaffe pilots who were notoriously bad on a/c identification, to mistake a P-38 for a P-40 or Spitfire. Perhaps the mistake is in the ID'ing of 109s versus 190s?
