Ernst-Erich Hirschfeld's Fw 190 A-8
Hi Bill
Do you know if the German pilot was seen to bail out of his aircraft? This is an important detail as it appears that Hirschfeld bailed out but failed to open his parachute and fell to his death. He had been shot in the elbow and possibly this was a contributing factor. According to what Kurse1342 wrote the pilot of the aircraft that Kemp claimed to shot down was seen to bail out but not open his parachute which would seem to match what happened to Hirschfeld. I am very aware that there are not enough details available to make definite pronouncements yet but this new information is very interesting.
Horrido!
