Hi!
I'm currently researching the raid carried out by 489 Sqn escorted by mustang of 315 Polish sqn. My references mentions that Pilot W/O Ryszard Idrian shot down a Me 110 during the air battle that ensued during this raid. However I cannot find any loss report of this a/c made by the Luftwaffe. I can find the Me 109's lost, but no trace of the Me 110 - can anyone help me
Here's a nice, well-known photo of Idrians PK*W escorting a beaufighter
(source http://www.burrowes.org)
By the way - does anyone know if the squadron crest was painted on this a/c by the time of this raid? I understand it was a fairly new machine and the caption states that the checkerboard had not been painted on yet.
Any help appreciated
Best regards
