Re: Bf.109E shot down 19 may 1940 by Carey of 3 Squadron

Hello Bruce and others,

My info is (alas) limited on this. Yes, Uffz Fritz Mias of 5./JG 3 was shot down in combat with Hurricanes on 19 June 1940. He made a crash landing with his Me 109E south of Cherbourg (near Brézolles/France).

I only have this source indicating that Carey claimed a Me 109 on 19 June 40: http://www.the-battle-of-britain.co..../Ca-pilots.htm. Aces High (Shores and Williams, page 166) state no claim on 19 June 40. Aces High states a claim on 19 July 40.

Who can provide more details on the RAF fighter who claimed Mias?

Best regards,
Rob
