Buried 20-04-1944 Friedhof Frankenhausen.


Dogfight 3. POSITION - Approximately 20 miles NE of Kassel
4. I saw P/O MAC CONKEY in a Luffbery with a FW 190. The FW 190 was getting on his tail. I called him and told him to stay in the same turn, and I went after the 190 on his tail. As I began firing there was an explosion in my left wing and I looked to see two FW 190's in string on my tail. They were firing at me, and had hit me in the left wing.(We were in a left turn at the time). As I broke tighter in left I saw the FW 190 ahead firing, and P/O MAC CONKEY'S ship burst into flames. I'M sure he had no chance to bail out.
