Some questions about 418 Sq. RCAF operations
 
Flying both daylight Rangers and night Flower operations I find this Squadron particulary interesting.

Does anybody know smething about the victims of F/L Kipp during the night of 3 May 1944?

02./03.05.44 1 Fw.190 s/d SW Ammersee, 1 Fw. 190 s/d over Gunzburg (Günzburg, NE Ulm – probably Leipheim) and 2 Fw.190s s/d over Sarrebourg by Mosquito VI of 418 Sq. RCAF F/L Robert Allan Kipp.

In another thread a 418 pilot misidentified a Fw.190 for a Arado Ar.96 trainer and as I can find no Fw.190 losses at this date and in this area, maybe Kipp was engaging training aircraft...?

Cheers

Has anyone more information about Uffz. Arno Pilz of JG.103 lost on 16.05.44 KIA over Strelasund. I believe, that he could have been a possible victim of S/L C.C.Scherf and
F/O C.G.Finlayson of 418 Sq, RCAF...
