Re: Claims Godfrey 4th FG

Martin,

Godfrey claimed (and received credit for) one ME-109 kill and one ME-109 damaged on 01 DEC 43. In your notation above, 1-0-0 would be the kill (one destroyed-no probables-none damaged) and 0-0-1 would be the damaged a/c claim (none destroyed-no probables-one damaged).

The kill on 01 DEC 43 was Godfrey's first kill. And as the first kill for the squadron that month, he won his crew chief 5 pounds in the betting pool the 336 mechanics had.

The squadron history lists the mission as a ramrod - "Squadron took part in escort of Fortresses to Solingen"

John,

I'm constantly amazed at the depth of your knowledge of the Luftwaffe.

Cheers!

Tim McCann
