Re: A ?? RE: an ace pilot's description of a dogfight:
Guys:
OOOPS! I found the quote in one of my sources (Boiten's & Bowman's 'Battles With the Luftwaffe') & it seems I overstated things slightly; apparently Eder said there were 200 fighters AND 200 bombers with an unstated number of P47s doing high escort; Furthermore the date in question was July 14 1943--Eder was flying with 7/JG2. Now the report DOES mention his fighter having both "twenties" and "thirties"---So I am REALLY at a loss as to what he was flying. However, at least I was right about his shooting down a B17 and a P47....
