Re: Night Fighter Questions
A very old post this, but I am trying to piece together who shot down Tober. I have one likely candidate so far: Bud Mahurin, 63rd FS/56th FG, shot down one Ju 88 and claimed another probably south of Quackenbrück at 1255 hours, flying P-47D-5 42-8487 "UN-M".
Tober's crash is reported as happening near Ebbenbroek (80 km west of Quackenbrück, just over the Dutch border) at around 1300 hours.
But I wonder if there could be a 1-hour time difference between the two reported times (GMT and GMT+1?).
Also Mahurin's Ju 88 claims are probably not the only ones, but I haven't found any other Ju 88 claims thusfar. The 56th FG claimed 14 destroyed this day, so likely others claimed Ju 88s as well (but so far I've only found a bunch of Me 210s, claimed after 1300 hours near Lingen). The 353rd FG also claimed: one Ju 88 destroyed and one damaged.
Who knows more?
