Re: British Night Fighter Claim on April 11./12 1945

I have sketchy details of a number of claims on 11/12. 04.45. No sign of an He111, but 406 Sqn are the best bet so far


406 Sqn Mosquito

He177 Dam (Gnd) Königgraz
He177
Dam (Gnd) Königgraz
He177 Dam (Gnd) Königgraz
E/a Dam Ruzyne


FIDS Mosquito


Ju88 Des 20 m NW of Berlin F/L F R L Mellersh


422 NFS P-61 Black Widow

Ju52 Des 1Lt E DAxtell/1Lt C H Morrison
Ju52 Des 1Lt F E Burnett/ F/O C E Brandt
Ju52 Des Capt R O Elmore/ 2Lt L F Mapes
Ju52 Des 1Lt E E Merriman/ 2Lt W Dow
Ju88 Des Capt T J Spelis /1Lt E Eleftherion


The National Archives site lists claims by F/L ARW Lasser and 1Lt SW Filkasky of 406 Sqn (may be two pilots or a pilot and his nav, I have not checked). Also S/L M J Stanley and F/L F R L Mellersh of FIDS (again may be two pilots or a pilot and his nav)

If you go to the National Archives web site you can down load combat reports for the RAF crews (£3.50 a piece)
