Generally quoted ennemies Planes are P51, report of Borreck quote them as P47, Groß gave them as Spits...

Re: 5.JG26 Fw Borreck
 

Shot down by Spit XII from 41 Sqn.

Hello,

The 'new' version of this 'famous' combat will appear in the new JG 26 chronicle by E. Mombeek and J-L Roba... one more reason to buy it when published.
Hi Régis! Still alive and kicking?
Borreck seemed to have crash-landed, maybe at Brustem airfield?

Hi Clin A-78

Any chance of an indication of what this new information reveals, or what the new source is?

I have an interest due to 41 Squadron's involvement.

Thanks
