Re: Meteor Mk.I and V-1 kills
Hi guys

Whilst on the subject of V-1 flying bombs, does anyone know how many were shot down by USAAF pilots? I have some details but not a complete listing of dates: For example, I note that Lt Carl Bickel of 353rdFS scored 3 but have no dates. Also Lt Lewis Powers of 353rd got 2 and one shared and Lt Edwin Fisher of 377thFS also got 3. I know all about the P-61 claims. An unidentified P-51 pilot shot down one on 12 July 1944 that exploded and tragically killed a nearby Dutch Spitfire pilot. Any ideas?

Cheers
Brian
