Re: who shot down Sgt. James McCairns on 6 July 1941?
There were at least 7 Spitfires lost that afternoon. Stab/JG 2 claimed two, I./JG 2 three, III./JG 2 one, I./JG 26 four, II./JG 26 one and III./JG 26 two. Most have no or vague locations. Graham Pitchfork wrote a history of 616 Sqn which just states Cairns crash-landed on the beach at Dunkirk which doesn't help further
Why was he famous? Just because he escaped?
