ID two Bf109s destroyed on 29 May 1944
Fighter Command War Diaries: Vol 4, records that two Bf109s on a reconnaisance sortie were shot down south of the Isle of Wight on 29 May 1944, and that both pilots baled out.
Can anyone advise (a) which unit the German aircraft belonged to, (b) if the pilots survived and (c) were they attempting to reconnoitre south coast ports or were engaged on some other operation?
I suspect this might have been the last reconnaissance attempt prior to the 5th June.
