Re: Ju88 loss 18th March 1944 NW Oran

Hi Stefan,
It was not a RAF unit but a French one. Your grand father's bomber was downed by three P-39 Airacobra belonging to the GC 3/6 Roussillon based in Oran La Senia. Lt Marcel Rouquette a very experienced pilot leaded the patrol and gave a precise account of the combat. The Junker crashed at sea 70 miles of the Habibas Island.
Cheers,
Guy
