Details sought re: 239 Sqn claim of Bf110 22/23.3.1944
 

I've just finished reading Bowman & Cushing's excellent book "Confounding the Reich" (The RAF's secret war of electronic countermeasures in WWII).

They list a claim on 22/23.3.44 by S/L E.W. Kinchin and F/L D. Sellers flying a type II Mosquito of 239 Squadron for a Bf 100 near Frankfurt.

Does anyone have any details on this claim?

Many thanks
Robert

There is a loss of a Bf 110 from 10./N.J.G. 3 at Langendiebach a/f during landing. Crashed due fire from enemy n/f. All of the crew were wounded.
No combat report at TNA.

Thanks Kaczmarek

Is there a time associated with the report?

What is the abbreviation TNA?

Many thanks

Hi Robert,

Unfortunately no time.
