Re: B-17 Serial number request, if anyone can help...
Russell,
Schroer's 2 "Beaufort" kills do remain a mystery. I can only re-quote (and state my firm disbelief in the relevance of) the following:
Believed by some sources to be 14 sqn B-26A-1-MA Marauder Is reported missing on 15.2.43 (….why the discrepancy in dates??) one was 41-7377/FK150, P/O Colin Carl Truman RAAF and crew all MIA. The other was FK142, forcelanded in Turkey with crew interned in Ankara. They do not appear to have been the result of enemy action and the losses took place hours later at around 1600 British Timing as well as the wrong date... It's pretty darn clear that the two events are NOT related.
As for the Hurricane claimed by Franz Schiehs (Schiess? - which is correct??)
Fighters over Tunisia contains all that is known about that one. It's a mystery.
