Re: Leonhard Mayer KG100 + 21.10.44

According to the book "Fighters over the Aegean" by Brian Cull, this loss occured on 22 October and is linked to a British claim:
"Flg Off Wally Cunnigham of 108 Sqn (with Flg Off Bob Common in ND145/W) reported an AI contact and pursued a Heinkel that he attacked from astern setting its starboard engine on fire. It went down in a 'screaming dive' into the sea."

If the above is correct, that means that the Heinkel was lost during the night of 21-22 October, and so could be listed on the 21st in the German loss list.

The hour of the claim of Cunningham would help, but is not given in the book.
