Re: Mosquito 57mm (6 Pounder) air to air kill ?
I believe Chris' view is that the claim can't be supported by German records. At least, that's how I remember the commentary in his excellent "Bloody Biscay".
There is also an account in "A Most Secret Squadron", though not first hand, from one of the 248 Squadron Tse-tse's navigators. The 57mm shell is said to have ripped out the Ju's port engine during a large melee, sending the Luftwaffe aircraft spinning down into the sea.
Looking forward to your book Alex, please keep us posted!
Cheers,
Mark
