Re: Bf110 shot down 13/3/44 by Slovak Bf109E
It happend on 13. april 1944. František Hanovec (Bf 109 E-3, W.Nr. 2945) and Rudolf Božík (Bf 109 E-2, W.NR. 972) had practice alarm start. Over Bratislava they met some airplanes, they thought enemy, four-engine bombers. Whem they get near, the last enemy started fire. So Božik shot it down. But this was Bf 110 G-2 (W.Nr. 6397, 2N+HM) from 4./ZG 1 with extra fuel tanks. Pilot Wilhem Meilinger perished. Gunner survived and reported that they was shot down by Mustnags.
Božik claimed B-24 but they all know that this was Bf 110 in this time.
All infos from excellent article about this incident form czech magazine REVI 63.
