Re: Luftwaffe rescue buoys
Was not the incident when Eder was shot down and wounded in 1944 when he was giving Michal Gladych the chance to land his damaged P-47 on a Luftwaffe airfield true. As Gladych was in front in the landing pattern it was reported he opened fire causing the airfield Flak to open up hitting Eders Fw 190. Several reports state the incident was verified when Eder and Gladych met up post war and was an article in the RAF Flying Review magazine in the 1950's,
All the best for the New year,
