April 7,1945 Me-262 downing of a F-5 Lightning
On April 7,1945 a F-5G of the 30th PRS flown by Capt, William H. Heily was shot down by a Me262 while making a photo run over the Autobahn near Seesen. Capt Heily became a POW. As far as i know there is no MACR on this loss.The 30th PRS lost two F-5s on this date and the one MACR (MACR 14260) is for another airplane,44-23715 flown by Lt. Stephen Pascal;
In some publications this Abschuss is credited to Maj Walter Schuck I/JG-7. In his Abschus list he does have a claim on April 7 but it's for a P-51D Mustang. Any comments?
