JG 27 v. Spit XIVs, Rheine, 2 March 1945
I am interested in any sources, especially from the German side, on this action, which saw 350 Squadron with Spitfire XIVs attacking JG 27 Bf109G/K?s defending Me 262 operations from Rheine airbase.

130 Squadron, also with Spitfire XIVs, was engaged at the same time nearby with 17 Fw 190Ds of III/JG 26.

I would be most grateful for reference to any sources (JG 27 history?) on the battle.

thanks,
david isby
