Re: Serial number of 422Nd Special Leaflet Sqn B-17, damaged on 3-4 May 1944?
Hello Martin,

Thanks for your interesting comments. I have one -yet unmatched- claim on 11-12 May 1944:

Uffz. Walter Brügel: 1 4./KG51 prob. Stirling 5-15 km E-SE Bury St. Edmunds (0383): 600 m. 01.38

Could this possibly be the B-17 of the 422nd Squadron that you mention?? It would be great if someone could supply additional details on this incident!

Uffz. Brügel reported spotting a Viermot with a single rudder fin, identifying it as ‘probably a Stirling’, and claimed it shot down in flames from below and behind.

Cheers, Theo
