Thats a database I build with a friend together, german aircraft losses 1930 - 1945.

Thanks Michael.
By chance, would you have the WNr.?

In 'The 357th Over Europe' it says Winks spotted the 262 doing a series of slow rolls at low altitude, he called the sighting in but no one else saw it. So he dived down from 15000 feet and got on the tail, and got in a good burst as the 262 approached an airfield, it burst into flames and crashed on the edge of the airfield.

Thanks Brian, but I already knew that.
That was the reason why I was looking for the unit of his victim.
