MOSQUITO KILL OVER TOULOUSE (12/8/44)
 

A Mosquito was shot down midday 12 August 1944 in the West of Toulouse (Pujaudran) by two fighters. (This Mosquito was a US Reco aircraft).

It might been done by Fw190 coming from Pau or Blagnac.

By chance, is there any Luftwaffe record concerning this kill ?

Thanks guys.
