Re: Likely Prevalence of LW shooting Parachutist

Paybacks are a B---H ,
While on an Escort Mission , Capt. " Pete " Peterson 357th FG , 364th Sq. ,
observed a ME 109 diving down on a B-17 Crewman that had Bailed out.
The ME 109 Pilot fired at the Crewman , apparently killing him. Capt. Peterson ,
a superb Pilot - Triple Ace , got on the ME 109s Tail and fired short bursts until
the ME 109 was so chewed up , the Pilot had to Bail out. Capt. Peterson then
made a firing pass , killing the Pilot.
