According to combat report, the kill was achieved in most traditional fashion. It seems most likely, McKenzie at the time shot up a Mustang aircraft - doubtless the first Allied jet victory over a manned aircraft. Source: my article in Lotnictwo journal.

The primary source of information is from an article by Chris Shores in Air Combat magazine – Jan 1976 (Vol 4, No.1) - ”The Allies’ First Jet Fighter”.

Oh, Air Combat magazine! I have only a few issues but it was a great journal. Anybody knows if and where I may acquire some old issues at reasonable price?
