Re: Go-242 glider - aerial victory?
For B-24 read Halifax. There is a well-published account of one such combat where the glider pilot released the tow allowing the Halifax to escape (as I recall). However, in Merrick's last work on the Halifax he describes a combat on 14th June involving 2 Condors of 7/KG.40 (Hptm Geoerg Schabert and Oblt Ludwig Progner) shooting down Halifax DK130:EE and the enforced release of the tow. 21 Horsas were safely delivered: one was lost when the towrope broke (3rd June) and other one went missing on the 27th: EB135:XX
