Re: Last combat of Egon Mayer

Hello,

According to "La guerre aérienne au-dessus du département des Ardennes Vol: 2 (Janvier 1944 - Juin 1944" (ISBN 9782912775283) by French fellow researchers Françoise and Pierre ROGER, MAYER found his end at hamlet Iré-les-Prés near Montmédy. Eye-witnesses seem to credit the crash-landing in a clearing.
Combats occured well far from Charleroi as I have investigated another JG 2 crash (pilot safe by chute) in that area.
I would be interested by the footage.
Matching claims vs losses is another story.

Best regards

ClinA-78
