RAF nightfighter aces victories over Luftwaffe
I am a former commercial pilot and student of aeronautical and military history. I have been a member of the Mosquito Aircrew Association and established contacts with a lot of former RAF pilots and Navigators. I am currently researching the victims of the following pilots, could someone help me to identify their victims or claims?
1) Peter Rudd of 23 and later 605 Squadron claimed a Junkers Ju 88 South of Rome on 10th July 1943; a Messerschmitt Me 410 near Taranto on the 27th July 1943 and an unidentified aircraft on the night of 19/20th June 1944 over Evère airfield on Belgium. So far he claimed NO (F)/122 and (F)/123 Aufklarungsgruppen´s aircraft. Perhaps a ZG 1 aircraft ( Me 410 )? 2) I am looking for the identities of the 3 Junkers Ju 88 and sole Dornier Do 217 shot down by F/L Crookes and Jameson ( 488 Squadron ) on the night of 29/30th July 1944 over D-Day beach-heads ( South of Caen and South of Lisieux ). His pilot also shot down a Me 410 on the night of 24/25 June 1944 and a Ju 88 on the night of 28/ 29 June; a Ju 88 on the night of 03/04 August and another Ju 88 on the 6th August 1944. 3) Could someone help me identify the victims of F/L John Hall, DFC*? I do have the following claims: 21/22 January 1944 – A Ju 188 and a Do 217; 21/22 March 44 a Ju 88; 18/19th April 1944 - A Ju 88; 14/15 May a Ju 188; 23/24th December a Me 410 and finally on the 27th March 1945 – a Ju 88. 4) F/L Walter Rowley, DFC ( Navigator 239 Squadron ) shot down a Me 110 G on the night of 7/8th February 1945 – was this machine that of Fw. Heinz Amsberg and Uffz . Mathias Dengs of .7/ NJG 1? If yes, what were the Werknummer and codes? 5) I am looking to identify the Junkers Ju 88 shot down by 604 Squadron 15 miles South of Cape Carteret on 17th May 1944 by F/L Hayhurst. 6) I am also looking for more information about a Me 410 shot down by S/L March from 410 Squadron on the night of 7/8th July 1944 SW of Paris. 7) I am researching the loss of a Junkers Ju 88 shot down by a 29 Squadron aircraft on the night of 3/4th April 1943. 8 ) Any information about the victims of S/L Bob Cowper, DFC* on the night of 10/6/1944 would be helpful too. He claimed a Dornier Do 217 and a Heinkel He 177 9) Finally I would be glad to obtain DATA about ALL the victims and claims made by W/C Russ Bannock, DSO, DFC* from 418 and 406 Squadrons.
