Re: 1435 Squadron 1943-45 Claims
Hi Bruce,
Have you consulted 'Spitfires over Sicily'? It records all 1435 Sqn claims from January to August 1943. Additionally, F/Lt (later W/C) Warren Edward 'Smoky' Schrader (RNZAF) made his initial claims with this unit: 17/12/43: 2 Bf 109G 3/1/44: 1/2 Bf 109G Cheers, Bruce |

Re: 1435 Squadron 1943-45 Claims
Another for your list David:
9/5/44: F/O Alfred Edgar Taylor (A408935) claimed one Bf 109 destroyed |
Re: 1435 Squadron 1943-45 Claims
Another for P/O Thomas Angus Miller (commissioned 5/3/44):
23/6/44: Bf 109 destroyed, NE Brindisi; Spit IX MH647/K |
Re: 1435 Squadron 1943-45 Claims
Hi chaps,
I have Taylor's victory as being scored on 5.5.1944 rather than 9.5.1944 and a Do217 destroyed by FS FWT Read and FS JT Gunn. No locations. best regards Keith |
Re: 1435 Squadron 1943-45 Claims
I also have a Ju88 destroyed by FS FWT Read and PO SC Stephens on 26 July 1944. Again no location.

Re: 1435 Squadron 1943-45 Claims
I think Taylor's victim on 5.5.44 was Oblt.Rudolf Scholl in a Bf.109G-5 of 1./NAGr.12 lost NE Bari.
