Re: Loss of Gefr. Ludwig Kienle - 07.06.1944
Hello Bruce,
As far as I know, there were more Ju 52 claims in the night of 6/7 June 1944, at least four by No. 418 (RCAF) Squadron Mosquitoes as follows: 1 by F/Lt D.A. MacFadyen, DFC and F/O J.D. Wright: N of Coulommiers A/F at 2345 hours and no fewer than 3 (!) by F/Lt S.H. Cotterill and Sgt E.H. McKenna at Chateaudun A/F and Orleans A/F (at 0012, 0015 and 0032 hours respectively). None of them matches perfectly location-wise, but possibly some of claims at Chateaudun and Orleans could be this particular 3./TG 4 aircraft. Besides that Cotterill and McKenna also claimed a Ju 188 destroyed over Orleans during this sortie.
Hope this might help a little,
Ota
