My dad Stanley S Bolesta 's B26 was shot down on Nov 3 1943 by FW190s after bombing St Andre De L Eure. Info gathered from others in the flight was that they were attacked by FW190s. The Fw190s had yellow nose, yellow tail, black numbers (maybe number 57). I believe that 2/JG2 Richthofen might have been in that area . The plane went down near Evreux France. All men bailed out safely. Dad ended up in Stalag Luft 1.
Does anyone have any information about the FW190 that may have taken part of that encounter.
I fly model RC airplanes- I built this B26 in his honor
