Re: Identity of three Ju 88 shot down by 198 Sqn Typhoons 13 January 1944?
Sorry, Stig, I should not have used 'losses' in my post. As I understand p.110 of Horn KG 6 vol 2, 144 391 is damaged by F/O MacDonald and makes an emergency landing with the pilot a fatality and the wireless operator injured. 300 003 is shot down by Plamondon (probably the IWM photo, if the original caption is correct). And then Horn goes on to say that a further Ju 88 is damaged but reaches Bretigny and the crew is OK. This is in the same paragraph as the information about Plamondon's success, and I read it to relate to the three 198 Sqn claims. But damaged, not a 'loss', is more accurate. And no work number or crew names are identified.
And Nick, yes, in Taghon p.292 I now see the losses - I stupidly missed this first time around.
