Gentlemen,
http://www.456fis.org/JUNKERS_Ju-388.htm
From the above source:
"In early 1945, a Ju 388 was intercepted while flying at approximately 13,500 m. (44,291 ft.) over the English channel by a Supermarine Spitfire. The Spitfire, operating above its service ceiling, was not able to reach the altitude of the Ju 388 but was able to fire upon it from below and bring it down. It is believed that this was the highest altitude shoot down of World War II."
Is there any truth to this statement?
best regards,
Jim Geens
