Re: 241 Sqn RAF loss, 24 July 1944
I agree with Juha, your book is a classic and is still the best source available on his subject (the AXIS air activities) AFAIK. We can now add details that were out of your reach as the time (for example the name of the German recon pilot claiming a victory on the date considered) but the book is still a very good reference.
Anyway I may have found the missing RAF pilot, by doing what I should have done first, rather than posting a thread here. I checked the Malta Memorial and the only name recorderd for the 24 July 1944 is a Flg Off Douglas Gordon Bennett of 241 Sqn, so he probably was the "Black Two" shot down by the recon Bf 109.
It could be confirmed by the ORB but it is not in my immediate plans.
Thanks for your time
