Hello there!

Reading Major Wolfgang Späte's 'Der Streng Geheime Vogel' and other sources, of the four Jagdwaffe Mitchell claims on this date (against the two Mitchells downed), he made one claim himself even though according to this book, he personally dispatched two "Marauder-type" twin-engined bombers (very likely the similar Mitchells as there are no Marauder claims until the 29th, and those aren't his), and based on his very fine flying skill, I'm guessing both were really his and he 'gave one away' to his colleagues, to whom he showed a degree of care.

Do you or one of your colleagues have a complete 'Jager Blatt' collection for the 1960s, and can they find the article about what film clips are available at the IWM, against names and other details? This lead comes from a credible expert correspondent, and a scan of the pages would be a great thing and much appreciated. Happy to look something up at Kew, the British Library or IWM London for you…

IWM can't tell me whether they have the footage or not until I give them sufficient identifying information.

Many thanks!
