Re: Late-war Bf 109 question
Bill Lyons was only 357FS pilot to shoot down a 109 on 9 February, 1945. Ludeke, who was flying with Lyons shot down an FW 190 in this engagement. This encounter was reported as near Brandenburg. He is still sharp as a tack at 80+. If you don't have his email address, PM me.
A flight of 2SF trailing the 355th FG bounced a gaggle of approx 50 109's near Magdeburg and shot down four. In this engagement, Bill Whalen became the Scout Force's only ace and the 2SF CO (Col John Brooks) shot down 2 and earned the DSC for the aggresive bounce.
Does anyone know which LW units were engaged?
