Herschel "Herky" Green : "Herky, the Memoirs of a Checkertail Ace. p.101
The following day was our day for oil. We covered B-17's attacking the oil refinery at Blechhammer, Germany. Thirteen Me-109's were lurking in the target area and were jumped bu the P-51's. In the fray that followed, I never was able to get into a decent for a good shot, but I did manage to get a couple of snap shots at two Me-109's that were trying to evade the P-51's by diving for the ground. In both case I got hits, but I didn't follow them to the groung as our primary mission was to keep the enemy fighters off the bombers. Lt Frank C. Soltesz'plane was seen to blow up. No chute was observed. His misfortune was believed to have been caused by mechanical failure. Credits to
