Re: Do217 Loss info needed - shot down by 144 Squadron in 1942

This will have been a 141 Squadron Beaufighter night kill (i.e. greatest likelihood). You need a date, or even a month, and ideally some location information to get a better fix.
Again on probabilities, John Braham would be a distinctly likely 141 Sqn candidate for the victor. Suggest check out the Wikipedia page on him which has a fairly detailed chronicle of his aerial victories. (No Antons listed there that are associated with Do 217s but its a start.)
PS And then - if the effort is justified - you could work through the 141 Sqn 1942 ORBs for possible mentions of likely kill crash sites. (These are still free to download from UK NA providing you log in.) Then of course there are also the Combat Reports ...
