Re: Egon Mayer

I just went back to my copy of former 354th FG Ace Norman Fortier's book, "An Ace of the Eighth" & in it he reported that on March 2nd, the 354th's 358th Squadron engaged 2 FW 190s & Me 109s near Charleroi, downing all 5; one of their pilots, Lt Walt Gresham hit one of the FWs with a long range deflection burst that exploded the FW; it was determined(via gun camera footage & the recollections of the other FW who was shot down but survived) that Mayer was the pilot of that particular FW;

So...I hope that helps;

NickM
