Re: Alarmstart 14.04.1945 ----> 2 losses
Hello,
John Foreman in his Fighter Command War Diaries, Volume 5, p. 395 wrote about this date: "In the North, Mustang pilots escorted Coastal Command strike aircraft to Lister. Engaged by IV./JG 5, Squadron Leader Peter Hearne of 19 Squadron destroyed a Messerschmitt."
This was apparently a sole claim by RAF fighters over Norway that day. By the way, S/Ldr Hearne´s Combat Report gives location as "Lista A/F" and time 1520 hrs.
Hope this helps,
Ota
