Re: Syrian Campaign - 260/450 Sqdn - Straffing Mission over Talia
Hi Alex
Flt Sgt Tom Hindle, commissioned March 1942, and flight commander by May 1942 when killed in action by Bf109 of III/JG53 on 31/5/42. Credited with three Bf109s (one on 3/4/42; either Ltn Kugelbauer of I/JG27 or Ltn Jenisch of II/JG27 on 25/4/42; and Fw Gromotka of Stab/JG27 on 21/5/42), a Bf109 probable and a MC202 probable, plus one of each type damaged.
Quite a successful pilot in a short period of time.
Cheers
Brian
