W/C Duncan-Smith Bf-109 victoy-June 26,1943
On June 26,1943 W/C Duncan-Smith attacked 10 Bf-109Gs escorting a Do-24 flying boat and downed a Bf-109G.. He described this combat in his book "Spitfire Into Battle" in vivid detail.
In the book by Brian Cull --"Spitfires Over Sicily", this action is also detailed and the probable victim is listed as Uffz Karl Hauer of 3/JG-77 flying Wrk Num. 18186.
In J. Prien's JG-77 Vol III, this loss is listed as Uffz Luwer of 2/JG-77 flying a Wrk Num. 18186. Karl Hauer is listed as a casualty on September 16th,1943 (vermisst-Luftkampf ostlich Salerno 100%)
I believe Uff Luwer is the correct casualty although his loss is listed as Motorschaden or motor trouble.
Any more info?
