Re: Lt Hubertus Kordigien? Lost Algeria 27.03.1943.
According to "Fighters over Tunisia", on this day, 43 and 87 Sqn flew many patrols during the day to protect a convoy code-named Untrue and claimed two He 111 and four SM 79 shot down, and two He 111 and one SM 79 damaged.
Axis losses were the following:
_ two He 111 of II/KG 26 (according to the book, the two He 111 claimed by FO Thompson and Johson of 87 Sqn around 0900 hrs off Cap Takouch)
_ five Italian SM 79 from Sardinia
_ a Ju 88 of II/KG 54 off the Algerian coast (no link with an Allied claim).
